国——非洲——南美 国际航线的工作,其间他还从事文学写作,作品有《南线班机》(
1930),《夜航》(1931)等等。
1939年德国法西斯入侵法国,鉴于圣·德克旭贝里曾多次受伤,医生认为他不能再
入伍参战;但经他坚决要求,参加了抗德战争,被编入 2/33 空军侦察大队。1940年法

1943年,在他的强烈要求下,他回到法国在北非的抗战基地阿尔及尔。他的上级考
虑到他的身体和年龄状况,只同意他执行五次飞行任务,他却要求到八次,1944年7月31
日上午,他出航执行第八次任务,从此再也没有回来,牺牲时,年仅44岁。
『PS. 我在1993年的一份参考消息上看到一则简讯,在欧洲某地的一个湖中,发现了圣
·德克旭贝里的飞机残骸。这次搜索是经过对他最后一次出航的线路和德军当时的空军
记录研究以后进行的,经过认证确认是那架失踪了半个世纪的侦察机。为了纪念这位伟
大的战士和文学家,当地决定为这架飞机的残骸建立一个博物馆,以他的名字命名,陈
列他的作品和遗物。原文我曾经剪下来保存,但是目前不在身边,上面是凭记忆写的。

SAINT-EXUPERY, Antoine de (1900-44). An adventurous pilot and a lyrical
poet, Antoine de Saint-Exupery conveyed in his books the solitude and mystic
grandeur of the early days of flight. He described dangerous adventures in
the skies and also wrote the whimsical children's fable 'The Little
Prince'.Antoine-Marie-Roger de Saint-Exupery was born on June 29, 1900, in
Lyon, France. In the 1920s he helped establish airmail routes overseas.
During World War II he flew as a military reconnaissance pilot. After the
Germans occupied France in 1940, he escaped to the United States. He
rejoined the air force in North Africa in 1943. During what was to have
been his final reconnaissance mission over the Mediterranean Sea, he died
when his plane was shot down on July 31, 1944.
Saint-Exupery's first book, 'Southern Mail', was about the life and death
of an airmail pilot. It was published in French in 1929. Other books
include 'Night Flight' (1931), about the first airline pilots, and 'Wind,
Sand, and Stars' (1939), in which he describes his feelings during flights
over the desert.
'The Little Prince' (1943), which in a way is really a children's book for
grown-ups, was written during Saint-Exupery's stay in the United States. A
gentle and thoughtful book, it tells the story of a boy who lives alone on
a tiny planet.
A final volume of reflections, which provides an insight into the author's
views on the meaning of life, is 'The Wisdom of the Sands' (1948). This
book was published after the pilot's death.
