What is the year of the book ?

With the year of the book, the two around 500 hp (in line) engines (not Gnôme-Rhône as they built only radial engines) and this site, it's probably possible to find the exact model :

My dear Deltafan,

it was from 1931.

Potez 453

French fighter flying boat prototype

-le fanatique de l'Aviation unknown issue

I've been looking for the real-life inspiration for the fictional Savoia S.21 from "Porco Rosso," and this is the closest match I've been able to find yet. A lot of people cite the Macchi M.33 as the basis for Porco's plane, but the Potez 453 more closely resembles the S.21's distinctive layout.

Thanks for posting!
