ST EX, A PRINCE IN HIS CITADEL

Antoine de Saint Exupéry, nicknamed St Ex, was a paradoxical character: everyone knows his name, knows that he was one of the aviators who wrote the legend of l'Aéropostale, that he died in flight during the war? But above all, this atypical man lived a short, extraordinary and surprising existence of 44 years during which he went through enough to write ten novels representative of the 20th century, and this is the subject of this book written by Bernard Chabbert, pilot-journalist, son of another Aéropostale aviator and friend of St Ex, and illustrated by the superb compositions of an exceptional painter-pilot: Romain Hugault.
