Saint Exup ry Night Flight

Night Flight is about three postal planes flying from Paraguay to Buenos Aires at the same time, and Rivière, who is in charge of the entire route, is in tight command at the airport. The plane piloted by Fabian encountered a terrible storm and was blown over the Atlantic Ocean by a cyclone, and finally ran out of gas. As the reader reads, he feels like he is on the back of a Pegasus with a pilot, traversing snow-soaked peaks, raging eddies, and rapidly changing skies, desperately searching for Earth in the Milky Way.
