Hikōtei Jidai (飛行艇時代, lit. 'The Age of the Flying Boat') is a manga by Hayao Miyazaki. A fifteen-page, all-watercolor work, it was published in Model Graphix, a monthly magazine about scale models, in three parts as a part of Hayao Miyazaki's Daydream Data Notes series. Like other manga in this series, Hikōtei Jidai is a manifestation of his love for old planes. It is filled with aircraft from the 1920s (heavily modified by Miyazaki) and their technical details, as well as with the men (good-hearted and silly) who love them. The manga received a film adaptation titled Porco Rosso in 1992.
