Card No. 03: The ARMSTRONG-WHITWORTH "ARGOSY" CLASS (Great Britain)

The "Argosy" is one of the earlier types of air liner used by Imperial Airways. A three-engined cabin biplane carrying twenty passengers, two pilots and a steward it has proved itself a highly dependable aeroplane and its brilliant record has done much towards popularizing air travel. Machines of this type have flown millions of miles and carried thousands of passengers between London and the Continent. The "Argosy" class has now been superseded by the "Heracles" and "Scylla" classes.
