Antoine de Saint Exupéry à la radio en 1938

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry on the radio in 1938, recounting a plane crash he had in Guatemala, then giving his impressions of aviation in the United States.

On February 14, 1938, Saint-Exupéry and Prévot left New York on the board of their Simoun to break the New York - Punta Arenas record in Tierra del Fuego. On take-off from Guatemala City, due to a confusion in the units of measurement (the Guatemalan stripe is different from the American one), due to the fuel surcharge, the plane crashed at the end of the runway.

"When I was taken off the plane, I was the biggest piece of debris," Saint-Exupéry would later say, who remained in a coma for several days.

Of passing interest

Art by Hannes Bok, 1948.  I don't know the novel. Interesting cover, though that interest is short-lived. Sensational, a few spatial conundrums (the monster in the story is a shape-shifter, see John Carpenter's film The Thing, 1982)...  but the diversion is transitory, lacking emotional depth and meaning. One wonders if Bok had Picasso in mind.

Lyonel Feininger - Edged Spaces, 1954

A study in flatness, compression of depth, two dimensions represented in two dimensions, rendering a planar perspective, how pale and washed-out colors enhance an illusion of flatness that isn't an illusion...

The adventure of course is to stare at this image until the illusion of flatness "springs" into an illusion of three dimensions, whereupon Feininger's title "Edged Spaces" is authenticated.
