Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900 - 1944) - Iconic French Aviator/Writer (MSFS)

[FrankPilot 131]

Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900 - 1944) was a very famous French aviator & writer, best known for "The Little Prince", an aviation fable aimed at adults & children. In Dec 1935 he crashed in the Sahara desert & was saved from death by Bedouin tribesmen. We'll replicate his flight in MSFS using words from his book "Wind, Sand & Stars" & we'll break-up the video with pictures illustrating other key aspects & aircraft in his career. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Seems the man had a storied career and should be praised for his work. Considering his earlier crashes, one might assume his disappearance might have been a crash also (50-50?) especially with no evidence of being shot down. What were the conditions when he went missing, time of day and so forth.

Thanks for this interesting story Frank.
