Few in the English-speaking world realize that Aeropostale, the
French airline often associated with pilot Antoine de
Saint-Exupery, author of The Little Prince, was the world's first
intercontinental carrier and a company that catapulted France into
the role of the world's aviation leader. Founded in 1918 as a mail
and passenger carrier between the south of France and Morocco it
soon expanded mail service to Argentina. When rival carriers were
traveling routes separated by mere hundreds of miles, it became an
airline that remained a symbol of adventure and daring until its
liquidation in 1931. In Sometimes Eagle's Wings: The Saga of
Aeropostale, Joy Dunkerley brings to life this historic airline,
infusing each page with compelling and often intriguing information
about its pilots and crews, its historic presence in South America,
and the political and financial wrangling that kept it flying and
eventually led to its demise.
