Saint-Exupéry recounts his experience as a pilot for the pioneering French aviation company Aéropostale and chronicles his miraculous survival after the Sahara crash of 1935. This account later inspired The Little Prince, which begins with the pilot narrator stranded in the desert. Saint-Exupéry wrote the dedication to American airline pilots specifically for this Reynal & Hitchcock edition.

The American Translators Association later named a prestigious award in his honour — the Lewis Galantière Award.
