Saint-Exup?ry: Valiant Young Men-Heroes of Flight, Book Three

Book Three of Valiant Young Men-Heroes of Flight, the story of Antoine de Saint-Exup?ry. Saint-Exup?ry is widely known today as the author of The Little Prince. However, in the early days of aviation he was famous for pioneering airline routes from France to Africa and across the ocean to South America-and for his skill in writing books about his adventures. Several of these became Hollywood blockbusters. His war-time exploits were incredible, flying for the French before the German occupation, and with the Americans afterwards, piloting the P38 Lightning. When the author met Neil Armstrong at the Reno Air Races and asked the renowned astronaut what WWII hero he most venerated, Armstrong replied, "Saint-Ex!" Brigadier General N. Michael Bissell said, "As a former aviator, I found this book real, exciting, and appropriate to the theme of manhood. Valiant Young Men-Heroes of Flight is a book that I will read time and time again, for in it I come face to face with greatness. My compliments to Bryce Gibby for writing one of the best books on leadership and the development of young men that I have ever read."
