From back cover: "Breathtaking realism of air adventure - through the treacherous passes of the Pyrenees, above the Sahara, along the snowy ramparts of the Andes - combined with lyrical prose and the soaring spirit of a philosopher, makes these memoirs one of the most popular books about flying ever written. The author was a pioneer pilot in commercial aviation. During WWII, he served in a French air squadruon and in the summer of 1944 disappeared over the Mediterranean while returning from a reconnaissance mission. He has been called 'the Joseph Conrad of the air,' and this account of his experiences received the Grand Prix of the Academie Francaise." |
