Comic book. “L’Aéropostale – Legendary Pilots – Complete Collection Volumes 1-4”
Guillaumet, Mermoz, Vachet, Saint-Exupéry: four legendary names brought together in a complete collection that pays tribute to the history of Aéropostale.
Together, they symbolize innovation, panache, passion, and courage. Together, they traveled further than any other quartet of their time. They are Henri Guillaumet, Jean Mermoz, Paul Vachet, and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Les éditions du Soleil has devoted an entire volume to each of them, proof of the major importance of the Aéropostale’s quest.
A hundred years later, do we remember Guillaumet’s heroic survival in the Andes (the film “Saint-Ex,” released at the end of 2024, tells the story)? Do we remember the hardship Mermoz endured after World War I before making a spectacular comeback with Aéropostale, an episode in his career marked in particular by a brief period of captivity in Africa? Did you know that it was Paul Vachet who paved the way for Jean Mermoz across the Atlantic? Did you remember that Saint-Exupéry’s book “Night Flight” was inspired by his years spent in Argentina working for Aéropostale? For younger readers, these four volumes will be an opportunity to discover this story. For older readers, they will be a chance to reminisce.
