Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the beloved author of Le Petit Prince and daring aviator, lived as adventurous as the tales he penned. Passionate about flight, he joined the French Air Force during World War II despite his age and growing concerns over his risky maneuvers and costly errors.

Saint-Exupéry’s mysterious end only deepens the allure of a man whose life blended the magic of imagination with the thrill of the skies.
