Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944), French aviator and author. He flew airmail routes across the Sahara and the Andes in the 1920s and 1930s and wrote about it in Night Flight (1931) and Wind, Sand and Stars (1939), but is known everywhere for The Little Prince (1943), written in exile in New York during the war. He disappeared on a reconnaissance flight over the Mediterranean in July 1944; the wreckage of his aircraft was identified in 2000.
