Line 1: {{creator}} [[File:11exupery-inline1-500.jpg\|frame\|Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, 1933]] '''Antoine Jean-Baptiste Marie Roger de Saint ~~Exupery~~Exupéry''' (29 June 1900 – 31 July 1944) used to be a successful commercial pilot, among the pioneers of postal service aircraft. When [[World War II]] came, he joined the French Air Force as a reconnaissance pilot. When the armistice with Germany was signed, he escaped to the United States, took a break from aviation to write a little bit, then joined Free French Forces. In 1944, he went missing during a recon flight, and the wreck of his airplane would only be found in 2003. Although he was a talented, devoted and famous aviator, some people might recognize him a bit better from some the books he wrote, being one of the most important French writers of world literature and one of the most famous writers of the 20th century. {{bibliography}} ~~{{examples\|List of his works:}}~~ * ''Aviator'' (1926), the first story he'd ever written * ''Southern Mail'' (1929) Line 24 ⟶ 25: [[Category:Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]] [[Category:Authors]] [[Category:French ~~Literature~~Authors]]
