A French underwater salvage team has discovered the remains of the plane piloted by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, 60 years after he disappeared.

The author of The Little Prince vanished during WWII on a reconnaissance mission over southern France.
This has always been a mystery, as though he might have flown off to some other world. I read The Little Prince several times when I was young. First on my own during one of my parents long summer cruises, Then in school a few years later with Mr Loeb, who always graded papers with a bright green Flair pen. A few years after, we read the same book in the same classroom, This time with Mrs. O'Brien, a French woman who taught so well that I was able to skate through three years of High School French as if I already knew the language. (actually Mr. Coleman's class was demanding.)
I never did read Wind Sand and Stars. Now, I think that I will. It always bothered me that the died in a war. Growing up During the Vietnam era, The images of death and killing always haunted me. My Adopted Father was a WWII veteran, who never spoke of his experiences, but he watched endless movies and documentaries. And in the news they gave a body count.
