A French scuba team has discovered parts of the missing warplane piloted by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of “The Little Prince” and one of France’s most beloved writers, an air force official said Wednesday.
The French aviation hero disappeared during World War II while flying a reconnaissance mission for the Allies over the Mediterranean. Until now, nobody knew where the plane went down.
Two pieces of Saint-Exupery’s Lockheed Lightning P-38 aircraft were pulled from the Mediterranean near the city of Marseille, said Capt. Frederic Solano.
