(6.5 x 4.35 x 0.5 inches). 172 pages. Language: French. Weight: 5 ounces. Paperback. Vol de Nuit, pubished in 1931, was the second novel by French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It went on to become an international bestseller and a film based on it appeared in 1933. Its popularity, which only grew with the ideological conflicts of the 1930s and 1940s, was due to its master theme of sacrificing personal considerations to a cause in which one believes. Should be in the library of every aviator, but this is an important work that can be enjoyed by any reader. Highly recommended.
