Airplane identification
Hi everybody,
who could help me to identify the flying boat you see on the enclosed image? It is from the 1930's and most probaply French.
Apart from this I would like to ask if somebody knew other homepages where I have the possibility to identify old planes.
Thanks in advance,
Corto

My guess the drawing is from the Adventures of Tintin, drawn and written by the Belgian writer-artist Georges Remi a.k.a. Hergé?
Indeed, isn't that Tintin on the tender port side, back on?
Hergé to his credit seems to have a penchance for accuracy in his drawings?
Looks very much like a Greek registered Dornier DO-X but not enough engines? AMI on the wing and AMO on the fuse?
