Mermoz, Guillaumet, Saint-Exupéry... All these big names in aviation are linked by the adventure of the Aeropostale. From continent to continent, from the golden expanses of the sands of the Sahara to the snowy peaks of the Andes, these men, pilots of Breguet XIV, Salmson or Laté 28, transported letters and packages, at the risk of their lives. Among them, 121 died there.

This book revives these heroes - who we imagine straight out of a novel as their courage, sacrifices and exaltation are remarkable - thanks to the adventures of the young Léopold who in turn discovers the Latécoère Lines and the dangers they hold for him!

Thanks to delicate illustrations and moving texts, Les Carnets de vol de Léopold come to life and give you to contemplate the bewitching scenery that the pilots of the Aéropostale crossed more than a hundred years ago. Léopold invites you to a real journey into the heart of the legend, between confidences and adventures.
