VISUAL DESCRIPTION
In this historical advertorial piece, we see another testament to the prowess of Napier Aero Engines during an era where such feats were groundbreaking. The advertisement details a challenging journey undertaken by Spanish aviators Commandante Franco and Capt. Ruiz de Alda flying from Spain to South America in just 35 hours aboard an aircraft powered by Napier engines. It outlines their route with impressive precision and distances covered between stops. Celebrating over 1,400 miles flown across open seas without incident attests to both pilot skill and engine reliability—the latter being a key selling point for Napier's water-cooled aero engines claimed as "THE FINEST AERO ENGINE IN THE WORLD."
