I've found myself to be a Little Prince purist after this book.
Short, yet full of intense internal battles and dramatic happenings- Night Flight does best as a snapshot of what aviation looked like in the 20s. A time capsule of the era of mail planes in a freshly post WWl pilot world. Not for me-but I'm glad to have read another one of Saint-Exupery's works after being the biggest fan of Le Petit Prince for over a decade.
