Description

Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The sky was Saint-Exupery’s element. as a boy of six he rigged up a bicycle with sails and rode at full tilt off the end of a springboard, hoping to fly. From the more adult perils of night flights during the Spanish Civil War, the hurricanes of Patagonia and the silence of the endless desert, he distilled the very essence of flying’s pioneer years. Wind, Sand and Stars is a story of solitary adventure and the limits of endurance, as well as of comradeship, warmth and love. It is introduced by Cecil Lewis – veteran First World War pilot, and one of the few men then still alive who remembered what it was like to fly in those days.
