In the 1920s, he became a pilot and flew the route from Toulouse to Casablanca to Dakar. In September 1939, Saint-Exupéry became a pilot in a reconnaissance squadron. In December 1940, he went to America, and in 1943 he arrived at the front in North Africa. On July 31, 1944, he took off from Borgo Airport in Corsica for his last reconnaissance flight.
