A lovely book! With a whimsical undercurrent, the narrative is fitting for Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and at times had the same tone as his book The Little Prince. However, it also doesn’t shy away from the realities of the early age of aviation and later war. The other historical characters showcased were also fascinating, especially once they all came together.

An interesting premise--the story of the author of The Little Prince and his friends in the early years of flight. But the execution is only meh. Nothing horribly wrong with the book, but it's not great, either.
