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

[FrankPilot]

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.

Very interesting, like everything related to that man, thank you very much.
Anyhow, in the video I read you focus specially on his military career, while I'm much more interested in his work for the Aeropostale company.
You might know the famous words by Pierre Georges Latecoère (Aeropostale founder): “All the calculations show it can’t work. There’s only one thing to do: make it work”. Truly inspiring!!
In fact I hope you might go a bit further with the Aeropostale matter and perhaps make a video about their other great hero, Jean Mermoz, and his incredible feat in the Andes mountain range in 1929. A true precursor of the 1972 events in the "Alive" movie!!
