As conditions get worse and the radio communication with Fabien becomes increasingly difficult, RivieÌre begins to question his uncompromising methods, and his distress turns to guilt when the pilot's wife comes to find him in search of answers. Based on Saint-ExupeÌry's own experiences as a commercial pilot, Night Flight is a haunting and lyrical examination of duty, destiny and the individual, as well as a vivid portrayal of the intrepid early days of human air travel."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Air pilots $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Air mail service $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Carter, David R., $d 1945- $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l AQPC277 $d 20240625010734.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170907010414.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE04DF3E939111E7A673E95E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
