Vintage Aviation Advertisements
The 1920s and 30s, the ‘Golden Age of Aviation’ and Second World War were times of intense aviation development. The competition between both engine and airframe manufacturers was intense as each firm unveiled new designs and as advances were made in performance and efficiency. Nowhere was this seen more clearly than in the advertising of the day.
