Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

He managed to get on board of the plane in 12. The unsuccessful pilot was Saint-Ex - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Later on he wrote: “Looking down the airplane, I dreamt only about writing”. In 1944, Antoine’s military airplane took off as usual. The alarm his friends felt was not without reason…
