Celebrities Who Are Still Missing To This Day

ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPERY

Le Petit Prince author Antoine de Saint-Exupery was also a skilled flyer who enjoyed pulling out intricate and risky feats. Le Petit Prince is one of the most well-known children’s novels in the world. Later in adulthood, he made the decision to enlist in the military and fight in World War II to defend his native France. Despite his senior age, this was to the detriment of many of the other air pilots tasked with completing missions with him. Despite being viewed as a risk and making a number of errors throughout his time in aviation, none were more damaging than the one he committed on July 31, 1944.

The remnants of his plane weren’t discovered until 2000 after it crashed while taking off for a mission over the Mediterranean. His remains were never found.
