Antoine de Saint-Exupery was a great writer, resistant, pilot...
thank you.
He was shot down by a german, because he did not follow orders. He was
given the mission after much begging, he stuffed it up.
There is a wonderful german TV documentary about Antoine. They even
found the german pilot who blew this difficult character out of the
sky.
The german cried on TV! "if I had known who I killed" ...
If you are interested, I have a copy of the broadcast (in german).
thanks again.
