Vuelo nocturno
An exciting novel full of poetry and adventure that narrates the lives of the pilots and staff of a Latécoère airmail company, which sought to open new routes in South America in the late 1920s Published in 1931, Night Flight is based on Antonine de Saint-Exupéry’s experiences as a pilot for the Latécoère airline, which sought to open new mail routes between America, Africa, and Europe in the 1920s, when flights were fraught with danger and uncertainty. The novel narrates a nocturnal mission over Argentine Patagonia, during which a pilot carrying mail from the south gets caught in a massive storm front. His anxieties and those of the ground staff blend to reflect the entire drama of a profession in which, at certain times, duty merged with heroism. |
