From the Polikarpov (1929), a Soviet fighter plane, to the American jumbo jet Boeing 747 (1976), The Adventures of Tintin retraces the fascinating epic of aviation. No less than fifty planes are presented to us.
According to the pen of Hergé, the plane is more than a means of rapid transport. It becomes a real protagonist of the action, like the Stratonef of the Adventures of Jo and Zette or the Carreidas, the supersonic business jet of Flight 714 for Sydney.
The author José Miguel de la Viuda Sainz, an aeronautical engineer, examines Hergé’s choices under the magnifying glass and analyzes his singular talent which is inspired by reality to create an imaginary work.
