  • Antoine Jan Marie Rogerita-Rokita de Saint-Exupéry (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, czyt. Antłan de sen egzuperi, ang. AntOne the Send ExSoupEry, pol. Mrówka Jedna Wysyła Byłą Zupę Ery, ur. 29 czerwca 1900, zm. 31 lipca 1944) – francuski pisarz, poeta, pilot. Urodził się 29 czerwca 1900 w Lyonie w bogatej rodzinie, jako syn hrabiego swojego starego. Ten jednak dał dupy i umarł, zawodząc jednocześnie syna. Antoine wraz ze swoją mamą i rodzeństwem zamieszkali w u ciotki, w zamku, w którym straszyło. Duchy nie dawały mu spać i w nocy wpadał na coraz dziwniejsze pomysły. Na przykład: w wieku 12 lat pierwszy raz przeleciał się samolotem i po zakończonym locie od razu dodał skrzydła swojemu rowerowi z myślą, że poleci. Niby z zamożnej rodziny, a tak naprawdę wiejski głupek. Dało się to we znaki także, gdy podjął studia architektoniczne, z których go wydalili. Postanowił zostać telewizyjnym pilotem. Nie było to takie proste, bowiem najpierw musiał zdać licencję pilota cywilnego i wojskowego. Ukończył obie. Podczas testu na pilota do telewizora niestety miał wypadek i został ranny. 31 lipca 1944 poleciał na trudną i ryzykowną misję robienia zdjęć samolocikom z papieru. Niestety nie powrócił z tej misji. Zginął prawdopodobnie gdzieś w okolicach Morza Śródziemnego, zestrzelony przez jakiegoś Niemca. Całkiem niedawno jakiś rybak wyłowił z owego morza bransoletkę należącą do Exupéry'ego.
  • Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (), officially Antoine Marie Jean-Baptiste Roger, comte de Saint Exupéry (29 June 1900 – 31 July 1944, Mort pour la France), was a French aristocrat, writer, poet, and pioneering aviator. He became a laureate of several of France's highest literary awards and also won the U.S. National Book Award. He is best remembered for his novella The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) and for his lyrical aviation writings, including Wind, Sand and Stars and Night Flight. Saint-Exupéry was a successful commercial pilot before World War II, working airmail routes in Europe, Africa and South America. At the outbreak of war, he joined the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air), flying reconnaissance missions until France's armistice with Germany in 1940. After being demobilised from the French Air Force, he travelled to the United States to persuade its government to enter the war against Nazi Germany. Following a 27-month hiatus in North America, during which he wrote three of his most important works, he joined the Free French Air Force in North Africa, although he was far past the maximum age for such pilots and in declining health. He disappeared over the Mediterranean on his last assigned reconnaissance mission in July 1944, and is believed to have died at that time. Prior to the war, Saint-Exupéry had achieved fame in France as an aviator. His literary works, among them The Little Prince, translated into over 250 languages and dialects, propelled his stature posthumously allowing him to achieve national hero status in France. He earned further widespread recognition with international translations of his other works. His 1939 philosophical memoir Terre des hommes became the name of a major international humanitarian group, and was also used to create the central theme (Terre des hommes–Man and His World) of the most successful world's fair of the 20th century, Expo 67 in Montreal, Canada.

In 1944, he went missing during a recon flight, and the wreck of his airplane would only be found in 2003. Although he was a talented, devoted and famous aviator, some people might recognize him a bit better from some the books he wrote, being one of the most important French writers of world literature and one of the most famous writers of the 20th century.

He spent more than two years in North America, during which time he wrote most of his major works. In 1943, Saint-Exupéry travelled to Algeria and joined the Free French Air Force, although he was officially eight years too old to join at the time. In July 1944 he disappeared over the Mediterranean Sea during a reconnaissance mission. He is believed to have died at that time. His identity bracelet was discovered in 1998. Saint-Exupéry is now best known internationally for the children's book that he wrote and illustrated Le Petit prince (The Little Prince), which has been translated into two hundred and fifty languages and dialects. Although not strictly autobiographical, most of Saint-Exupéry's writings drew on his experiences as a pilot. His writings earned him several French literary awards. He recieved the U.S. National Book Award for his 1939 memoir Terre des hommes (Wind Sand and Stars).
