VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement celebrating the success of Castrol oil in aviation races. The headline "KING'S CUP AIR RACE" indicates that the event was significant, likely held under royal patronage. The text reveals that the race took place on "LAST SATURDAY" and was won by an aircraft using Castrol oil. The winner of the King's Cup Air Race is listed as Flg. Off. E. C. T. Edwards flying a Blackburn Bluebird IV aircraft with Cirrus-Hermes I engines, emphasizing both pilot and plane's names to highlight their achievement. Additionally, it mentions Fit. Lt. F. G. Gibbons who came in second place piloting a Spartan with Cirrus-Hermes III engines—again showcasing both aviator and machinery. Below this information, there's another triumph noted at the "AIR CIRCUIT OF ITALY, " where pilots Colombo, Valeri, and De Angeli secured first, second, and third places respectively—all flying Breda machines equipped with Gipsy III engines. The ad concludes by promoting Wakefield Castrol as "the World’s Fastest Oil on Land & Water, " implying its superior performance across different vehicles and environments. At the bottom right corner is the logo of C. C. Wakefield & Co. , Ltd. , along with their address in London which adds authenticity to this advertisement piece from an era when air racing was popular and technological advancements were celebrated through such events.
