The Prince of the Skies

In the 1920s, long before he wrote The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery was an accomplished pilot. Along with Jean Mermoz and Henri Guillamumet, he was chosen to pioneer new mail routes across the globe. No distance was to far and no mountain to high—each letter had to reach its destination. The three friends soared through the air, while a world torn apart by wars and political factions awaited them back on solid ground.

This is a gripping narrative of death-defying plane crashes, heartrending love affairs, and unexpected fame, as well as an homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupery, an unforgettable writer who touched the lives of millions of readers.
