Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
![Saint-Exupéry in [[Toulouse]], 1933](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7f/11exupery-inline1-500.jpg)
Saint-Exupéry was a successful commercial pilot before World War II, working airmail routes in Europe, Africa, and South America. He joined the French Air Force at the start of the war, flying reconnaissance missions until France's armistice with Germany in 1940. After being demobilised from the French Air Force, he travelled to the United States to help persuade its government to enter the war against Nazi Germany.
Saint-Exupéry spent 28 months in America, during which he wrote three of his most important works, then joined the Free French Air Force in North Africa—although he was far past the maximum age for such pilots and in declining health. He disappeared and is believed to have died while on a reconnaissance mission from Corsica over the Mediterranean on 31 July 1944.
Prior to the war, Saint-Exupéry had achieved fame in France as an aviator. His literary works posthumously boosted his stature to national hero status in France, including ''The Little Prince'' which has been translated into 300 languages. He earned further widespread recognition with international translations of his other works. His 1939 philosophical memoir ''Terre des hommes'' (titled ''Wind, Sand and Stars'' in English) became the name of an international humanitarian group; it was also used as the central theme of Expo 67 in Montreal, Quebec. His birthplace of Lyon also named its main airport after him. Provided by Wikipedia
