Cette nouvelle édition critique de Vol de nuit, retrace, grâce à une étude minutieuse du manuscrit autographe, la genèse de ce roman d'après les lieux où il a été rédigé. Elle met en lumière la dimension secrètement autobiographique de ce récit à la fois réaliste et poétique d'un pionnier de l'aviation de ligne qui est aussi un grand écrivain. L'esthétique novatrice, même si elle demeure classique, fait revivre l'aventure de grandes figures de pilotes et celle d'un personnage de chef exigeant dont le sens inflexible du devoir est humanisé dans un récit pudique, silencieux, discrètement lyrique. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry a transfiguré ses propres aventures et celles de ses meilleurs camarades, en estompant la dimension autobiographique, ce que montre l'analyse des corrections et des suppressions dans le manuscrit. Il a su créer en 1931 un roman original, en stylisant l'expérience d'un rapport neuf à la nature et au monde grâce à l'avion et lui a donné la tonalité d'un « nocturne » au sens musical du terme.

"On July 25, 2010, Arnold Ebneter flew across the country in a plane he designed and built himself, setting an aviation world record for aircraft of its class. He was eighty-two at the time and the flight represented the culmination of a dream he'd cultivated since his childhood in the 1930s. Eileen Bjorkman--herself a pilot and aeronautical engineer--frames her father's journey from teenage airplane enthusiast to Air Force pilot and Boeing engineer in the context of the rise, near extermination, and ongoing interest in homebuilt aircraft in the United States. She gives us a glimpse into life growing up in a "flying family" with two pilots for parents, a family plane named Charlie, and quite literally, a propeller under her parents' bed. From early airplane designs serialized in magazines to the annual Oshkosh Fly-in where you can see experimental aircraft on display, Bjorkman offers a personal take on the history of building something in your garage that you can actually (and legally) fly as well as how the homebuilt aircraft movement has contributed to aviation and innovation in America"--Provided by publisher.
