Antoine de Saint-Exupéry mostly known from his book “The little Prince”, wrote the novel “Vol de nuit” (Night Flight) in 1931, based on Saint-Exupéry’s experiences as an airmail pilot and as a director of the Aeroposta Argentina airline, based in Buenos Aires. The characters were inspired by the people Saint-Exupéry knew while working in South America. Notably, the character of Rivière was based on the airline's operations director Didier Daurat.
