{"description": "*Night Flight* (French title: *Vol de Nuit*) is the second novel by French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry. It was first published in 1931 and became an international bestseller. The book is based on Saint-Exup\u00e9ry's experiences as an airmail pilot and as a director of the Aeroposta Argentina airline, based in Argentina. The characters were also loosely based on people Saint-Exup\u00e9ry knew in South America. Notably, the character of Rivi\u00e8re was inspired by Didier Daurat, operations director of the A\u00e9ropostale. More details can be found in Saint-Exup\u00e9ry's 1939 memoir, *Wind, Sand and Stars*.
