* Antoine de Saint Exupéry Slightly yellowed black-and-white photograph, format 15.5 x 15.5 cm, with typewritten text on verso. Accompanied by a 1/48 scale model of Saint Exupéry's P-38 Lightning No. 223 (reconnaissance version), a modern wooden model, hand-made and painted, size 34 x 45.4 cm, to which are attached the insignia of Saint Ex's Groupe Aérien de reconnaissance 2/33 and that of the Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres. With optional Little Prince seated on the presentation frame. - In the spring of 1944, General Eaker, commander-in-chief of the air force in the Mediterranean, asked Saint Exupéry to join the prestigious 2/33 group, in which he had served in 1939-1940. On July 17, the 2/33 moved to Borgo, not far from Bastia in Corsica. Saint Exupery flew several missions with the F-5B-1-LO, a twin-engine P-38 Lightning in aerial reconnaissance version, before disappearing on July 31, 1944.
