Hergé, Tintin - et les avions- Ref: 24396

From the Polikarpov (1929), Soviet fighter plane, to the American Boeing 747 (1976), The Adventures of Tintin retraces the fascinating saga of aviation. No less than fifty aircraft are presented to us.

Under Hergé's writing, the plane is more than a means of rapid transport. It becomes a real protagonist of the action, like the Stratonef from The Adventures of Jo and Zette or the Carreidas, the supersonic business plane from Flight 714 to Sydney.

The author José Miguel de la Viuda Sainz, aeronautical engineer, examines Hergé's choices closely and analyzes his singular talent which is inspired by reality to create an imaginary work.
