This article describes the weckage of an airplane crash that killed Antoine Saint-Exupery in WW II. Saint-Exculpery was the author of the most successful children's book, "The Little Prince." He had a broken engagement with Louise de Vilmorin, an author whose two books with calligrams are held by th Sackner Archive.
