Feeling that his beloved rose was taking him for granted, the Little Prince left his planet to explore the rest of the universe, and he describes to the narrator various characters he encountered on his voyages who teach him important lessons. During an attempt on December 30, , to break the speed record in a Paris-to-Saigon air race, he and his mechanic-navigator crashed in the Libyan desert close to the Nile Delta in what turned out to be only the first of many air crashes. On the verge of a terrible death, they were finally found by a Bedouin on a camel who saved their lives. He joined the French Air Force at the start of War World II and flew reconnaissance missions until France signed its shameful Armistice of June 22, , with Nazi Germany and formed the collaborationist Vichy government shortly thereafter. The Nazis were also none too pleased with his fervent denunciation of anti-Semitism in War Pilot Following its Nazi master, the Vichy government attacked him in the most vile and racist terms as a defender of Jews — which he unabashedly was — and banned all his books. One sad result of that ban was that The Little Prince would only appear posthumously in his native France after the war. He came to New York City on December 31, , where he became a leading expatriate voice of the French resistance and a leading activist urging the United States to join the fight against the Nazis. The text reflects the perspective of a lonely and despairing refugee distraught about events transpiring in his beloved French homeland and his desire to return to childhood innocence and simplicity. Restless to rejoin his compatriots fighting for the liberation of France, and although he was in poor health and eight years past the maximum age for military pilots — and notwithstanding significant immobility arising out of his previous crashes and injuries, including an inability to turn his head to the left to check for enemy aircraft — he tirelessly and single-mindedly lobbied for permission to fly missions in support of the Allied war effort.
