Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a French writer, aviator, and journalist best known for The Little Prince, the beloved novella that won him major literary recognition. Beyond that fairy tale masterpiece, he's remembered for lyrical, poetic books about flying—Wind, Sand and Stars and Night Flight among them—which earned him significant awards and cemented his reputation as one of aviation literature's finest voices.
His work blended his two great passions: writing and flying. He didn't just write about aviation; he lived it, and that authentic experience shaped everything he put on the page. Fans of his work often note how his writing captures both the technical wonder and the philosophical weight of early air travel, making his books feel timeless even decades later.
