VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring Adjutant-Chef A. Bonnet, who broke the world's speed record in an aircraft. The ad celebrates his achievement of reaching 448. 17 kilometers per hour (278 mph) on December 11th, while flying a Bernard Monoplane equipped with a Hispano-Suiza engine. This feat surpassed his own previous record set a month prior by over 23 km/h (14 mph). The advertisement promotes Wakefield Castrol Motor Oil as the lubricant used in this record-breaking event, suggesting that its use was integral to achieving such high speeds and reliability in aviation performance. It emphasizes that whether "in the air, on land or sea, " Castrol is the "tried and proved lubricant. " The ad includes imagery related to aviation and branding for Castrol Motor Oil along with text highlighting their success at various aerial derbies where they placed first, second, and third using their product. (Note: While I can describe what appears in the image based on context clues provided within it—such as text referring to an individual named A. Bonnet—the actual identity of any real person depicted cannot be confirmed. )
