Pilot in War

This novel is full of Saint-Exupéry, the author of "The Little Prince", with his views on war. The blueprint and cruelty of war make this war more like a war - this idea has a long history and tells the world the meaning of endless wars and endless orders. Flying and writing were the mainstays of Saint-Exupéry's life. When the war came, Saint-Exupéry performed a low-altitude flight reconnaissance mission. He used the pen in his hand to describe the countryside, mountains, enemy planes, burning villages, sniper fire, and displaced refugees in his eyes. Through an in-depth study of human civilization, he realized the profound significance of war and its consequences. "Aviator at War" begins with a special suicide mission and narrates the author's trivial memories during World War II. The protagonist looks forward to dawn in the dark night, falls into despair and yearns for life again in the midst of gunfire, and finally finds his own identity in the bright starry sky - human value is never innate, but acquired through hard work. And blessing individualistic sacrifices is a norm that civilization imposes on everyone.
