VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image appears to be a vintage promotional or commemorative print celebrating "The Greatest Formation Flight in the History of Post War Aviation. " It features illustrations of four Supermarine-Napier "Southampton" flying boats in formation. The text indicates that these aircraft have flown 23, 000 miles each, for a combined total of 92, 000 machine miles. The flight path shown on the map traces routes from India to Australia and back again. Notable captions include milestones such as "THE FIRST FLIGHT OF ANY KIND ROUND THIS COUNTRY" over India and "THE FIRST FLIGHT FORMATION ROUND AUSTRALIA" highlighting this significant achievement around Australia. Additional details provided in the image mention dates like October 19th-27th for flights between Basrah (Basra) and Karachi, November 4th-6th for flights between Singapore and Port Darwin, and December 9th-12th for flights between Melbourne and Hobart & Back. At the bottom of the print is an endorsement of sorts: "THE CONSISTENT SUCCESS OF THE FOUR 'SOUTHAMPTONS' ON THE RAF FAR EAST FLIGHT, HAS CREATED ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MILESTONES IN AVIATION DEMONSTRATING THE DURABILITY, HIGH EFFICIENCY, SEA AND AIR-WORTHINESS OF 'SUPERMARINE' CONSTRUCTION. " Issued by Supermarine Aviation Works Ltd. , it's clear this piece was designed both to commemorate a remarkable feat in aviation history and promote the capabilities of Supermarine aircraft construction during that era.
