Tintins Airplane!
Yes, I do realize that this may be the wrong forum, but then again, I do need some smart heads to figure this one out and it certainly does involve a rather interesting airplane.
In on of the Tintin books, which I must admit I read many years ago, some one is flying an airplane which very much resembles a Hughes H-1 racer, although it does have a fixed landing gear and a different cockpit enclosure.
I am not sure, but I do believe it was a real airplane of the period, but I must admit, that I am not sure.
Any takers?
