«Vol de nuit» is the aviation novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, published by Gallimard in paperback (192 pages, in French).
In the early days of commercial aviation, airmail pilots risk their lives on night flights between South America and Europe. Rivière, the company's chief, imposes iron discipline to ensure the mail reaches its destination; pilot Fabien faces a storm. Saint-Exupéry portrays the duty, courage, and fraternity of these men.
Originally published in 1931, it received the Prix Femina and includes a preface by André Gide. It is number 4 in the Folio series.
For readers of French classics and aviation stories seeking a tale about duty and sacrifice.
Antoine Marie Jean-Baptiste Roger, vicomte de Saint-Exupéry, known simply as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, was a French writer, poet, journalist and aviator.
