In cream letters on a red ground, this label reads Handley Page Air Services, Paris, London, with the winged HP emblem between the two cities and Handley Page Transport Ltd along the bottom. Frederick Handley Page set up the airline in 1919, just after the First World War, flying converted O/400 bombers between London and Paris, and a London-Paris service from Cricklewood began in 1920. On 31 March 1924 it merged with three other British airlines to form Imperial Airways.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
