Saint-Exupéry, the author of The Little Prince, was also a pilot.
Tips
history
He flew airmail routes across the Sahara and South America, and a crash in the Libyan desert in 1935 gave him the stranded pilot at the start of the book. In July 1944 he took off on a reconnaissance flight over the Mediterranean and never came back.
usage
His full name in Chinese is 安托万·德·圣埃克苏佩里, but the surname alone is the usual form.
