Antoine de Saint-Exupery - air mail pioneer and writer
TV documentary on Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of "The Little Prince", writer and flight pioneer. Saint-Exupery and the Air Mail Pioneers are portrayed with magnificent images in the spirit of “The English Patient” shot in the North African Sahara and authentic historic footage.
When the heroes of early aviation established the first airmail routes in "flying crates" way too unsafe for passengers, the father of the best-selling Little Prince was one of them: Antoine de Saint-Exupery flew the mail over northwest Africa and in South America. Linking continents and countries, minds and mentalities was the right kind of mission for a man who sought to look at danger and adventure with a poet's eyes.
