Born to Lyon aristocracy in 1900, Saint-Exupéry trained as a commercial pilot in the early 1920s and flew airmail routes across Europe, Africa, and South America. Between 1926 and 1939 he published four works - the short story The Aviator, novels Southern Mail and Night Flight, and the memoir Wind, Sand and Stars - drawing from the solitude and danger of early aviation. He joined the French Air Force for World War II, flew reconnaissance until France's armistice with Germany in 1940, then lived in exile in the United States from 1941 to 1943, helping persuade it to enter the war; during that stretch he published Flight to Arras and The Little Prince. In 1943 he returned to combat with the Free French Air Force, past the maximum age and in declining health. On 31 July 1944, during a reconnaissance mission over Corsica, his plane disappeared. Debris surfaced near Marseille in 2000, but the cause remains unknown.
