VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement showcases the "ACHIEVEMENTS in JET-PROPULSION" by the British Thomson-Houston Company (BTH), featuring a central portrait of Air Commodore Frank Whittle, surrounded by other members of his team. The layout is reminiscent of yearbook pages or commemorative plaques, with each individual numbered and presumably identified elsewhere in the publication. Below Whittle's image is a brief description acknowledging him as the creator of the first experimental jet-propulsion gas turbine and noting that this engine powered the world's first successful jet-propelled airplane flight on May 15th, 1941. This ad not only celebrates technological innovation but also serves as historical documentation for an important milestone in aviation history.
