The Little Prince
French diver Luc Vanrell helped solve the mystery surrounding the death of Antoine de Saint-ExupΓ©ry, creator of The Little Prince.
In July 1944, a plane piloted by the author of the world famous children's story The Little Prince, disappeared over the south of France. Antoine de Saint-ExupΓ©ry, an experienced aviator, was on a reconnaissance mission for the Free French airforce fighting Nazi Germany. No one knew how or where his plane had come down. French diver Luc Vanrell has been telling Mike Lanchin about finding the wreckage of the missing aircraft off the coast of Marseille almost sixty years later.
