VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the de Havilland Aircraft Company, highlighting the "Recent Tours by Gipsy Moth. " The ad features two accounts of long-distance flights made in Gipsy Moth airplanes to showcase their reliability and performance. The top half of the image shows an outline map of Africa with text detailing a 1, 500-mile African tour over three months. It mentions various locations such as Cape Town, Johannesburg, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, Nairobi, Kisumu, Jinja (source of Nile), Mombasa across Kenya Colony's Rift Valley to Lake Albert and back. This section emphasizes that no engine trouble was experienced during this journey. Below the map are testimonials from Captain Guest who writes about flying in all types of weather without any hiccups or need for repairs. He praises the machine's endurance and capabilities under extreme conditions like high altitudes and temperatures. On the bottom left side is another account titled "INDIA TO ENGLAND BY KARACHI AERO CLUB'S GIPSY MOTH, " which describes a flight from India to England taken by Mr. Chawla using his personally-owned Gipsy Moth plane. He flew through countries such as Iraq and Italy without any issues or need for overhaul or real repair beyond normal servicing recommended by manufacturers. To conclude the advertisement on the bottom right corner is information regarding pricing: "Price from £595" followed by contact details for THE DE HAVILLAND AIRCRAFT CO. , LTD at Stag Lane Aerodrome in Edgware Middlesex. Lastly, there's a tagline stating "SHEER RELIABILITY IN EVERY INSTANCE, " reinforcing de Havilland’s message that their aircrafts are dependable travel companions regardless of distance or destination.
