How did the author of The Little Prince disappear?
As time went on, his heart gradually calmed down and he knew that the final result had arrived. He picked up the flight book around him, with a short record on it:
Saint-Exupé ry: Aerial photography mission in southern France. Not returned.
Time went back to the night before, and Saint Exupé ry seemed a little excited. It is very important for him to endure the pain of his body and win the last flight mission.
So even though he had eight fractures, stiffness and pain, and headaches and dizziness from time to time, he didn't stop. He wants to die for his country. This is the ideal engraved in his bones and blood.
When it was finally confirmed that he had the eighth flight mission, his mood could not be calm for a long time. That night, instead of going to bed early, he ate and drank all night in a restaurant in bastia until dawn.
Then, he began to prepare for the upcoming mission. First, he made a dispersion, and then he began to eat breakfast: some fried eggs, black coffee, and his favorite American cigarettes. After dinner, Saint Exupery set out. He arrived at Porgo airport 50 miles from bastia by jeep.
On July 3 1 day, the weather was fine and there were few clouds in the sky. It's a fine day for flying, but the air pressure at Porgo Airport is a little low.
Saint Exupery and his old friend Rene? Gavai is chatting. He didn't mention the flight, but he asked Rene Gavai helped me. He gave Renee a suitcase with a manuscript in her hand. Gavai, the purpose is to make Rene? Garuway, keep it safe and hand it over.
They talked about something else, all of which were the nagging of Saint Exupery, like talking to Rene? Jia Wuwai said goodbye. Finally, the two sat next to each other, tears streaking across their faces. Both of them felt the danger of the flight, but neither of them said it.
After a long time, Saint Exupery stood up, said goodbye to his old friend, and then boarded the P-38 fighter: Lightning without looking back.
The hands of time quickly pointed to 8: 45, and St. Exupery took off. He rushed to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and will perform several hours of reconnaissance missions in the high-altitude areas of Grenoble, Anxi and Chambery.
This is not difficult for Saint Exupé ry, but at this time Saint Exupé ry's physical condition is not optimistic. Physical pain and gloom in my heart make this flight mission not so simple. Moreover, it was an important reconnaissance mission carried out during World War II, and the danger was self-evident.
Saint Exupery is ready to die for his country. He knew he couldn't wait for the end of the war, but he didn't expect that less than a month after his disappearance, the allies had entered Paris and France had won.
Yes, Saint Exupery disappeared on this flight, Rene? Galway didn't wait for him to come back. There were only two words about the result in the flight book: no return.
Saint Exupery just disappeared, in the blue sky and white clouds, at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
The disappearance of the pilot in the air was not a big deal at that time. You know, during the whole World War II, more than 10,000 French planes were shot down. But the disappearance of Saint Exupery is different.
On the one hand, his identity is very special. He is not only a mature pilot, but also a soldier and a writer who touched the world. He has written several award-winning works.
For example, Night Flight, which won the Femina Literature Prize, The Land of Man, which won the French Academy Novel Award, Air Pilot, which caused a sensation in the United States, and China Southern Post Airlines. The Little Prince, the best book after the Bible, was just published a year before his death.
His contribution to literature is enormous, so his disappearance in the air caused a sensation all over the world.
Many people are obsessed with uncovering the mystery of the disappearance of St. Exupery, but they have been unsuccessful. This has become a mystery. No one knows why Saint Exupery disappeared. Where is it missing again?
Just as people gradually forgot the disappearance of St. Exupery and indulged in his little prince, the mystery of his disappearance took a turn for the better.
1September 7, 998 A man named Habi? A fisherman from Tunisia, Benamor, fished out a shiny thing in the Sea of Casis. That's an old bracelet. He thought it was a strange thing, so he showed it to his boss.
The boss took it and looked at it carefully, and found words engraved on it, including? Antoine? These words made him feel deja vu, so he cleaned the bracelet, and then he saw the complete handwriting on it:
Antoine? De? Saint Exupery (Gong)-Transfer and Hitchcock Company-386 Fourth Street, New York, USA
The key information above: St. Exupery's name, his wife, and the publisher's address of his work The Little Prince. Everyone is announcing to the world that it belongs to Saint Exupery. This is the first time that something related to the disappearance of Saint Exupelli has been discovered since he disappeared for more than 50 years. How can it not make people ecstatic?
So more people from all walks of life began to salvage in this sea area, trying to find everything about St. Exupery. The salvage really has a result. In 2003, they salvaged several pieces of aircraft wreckage about one-tenth the size of the fuselage. There are no bullet marks on it, but there are creases that fall into the sea because of too fast speed.
It doesn't look like it was shot down, but it looks like it took the initiative to die.
But some people say that as early as 2000, a plane wreck was found at the bottom of this sea area. After comparison by experts, it seems that it is lightning driven by St. Exupery.
Regardless of the above statement, it is certain that the mystery of the disappearance of St. Exupé ry has been solved, that is, the plane that St. Exupé ry took on July 3 1, 1944 crashed into the sea and died.
However, the specific reason for falling into the sea is still uncertain. Many people think that this is the voluntary death of Saint Exupery. He was depressed before his death, his marriage failed and his ideal was not realized. His yearning for freedom is always suppressed, he is very depressed, very depressed. So this is probably the end he set for himself when he performed his last flight mission.
But in 2008, people seemed to have another view.
This year, former Nazi pilot Ripert claimed in his book Saint Exupé ry: The Last Secret that he probably shot down the lightning of Saint Exupé ry in 1944.
He expressed regret in the book, because he likes the Little Prince by Saint Exupé ry very much and is a fan of Saint Exupé ry.
Although this statement seems reasonable, it seems unreasonable why he has remained silent for so many years and never made any comments on the disappearance of St. Exupery.
It's been so long that it's hard to determine the real cause of the crash in St. Exupery, but his little prince has won the love of readers all over the world.
