Introduction
The novel Night Flight was written in a particular context: that of competition between the means of transport. To avoid being taken over by the car as the train, River, the head of initiates airmail flight at night with all the risks that entails. This situation reduces to the following questions.
After a brief history, we will analyze the obstacles that stood before the pilots then will show the professionalism that the airmen.
I. History
is the story of what happened one night on the air network in South America at a time not specified, but we can locate about 1930, where night flights fell almost still in the realm of adventure and where the drivers were true martyrs. Enormous dangers they faced and took a lot of risk. Andre Gide said on this subject that "it is for aviation as with any exploration of unknown lands a heroic period."
II. Barriers Air
1. The barriers
The aircraft is designed as a means of moving air reduces the universe of man in a mass of scrap in the open air away from its outside world. The pilot, within its control device which he seems to be master, for a fixed landing which is not always on call. The aircraft is sometimes beyond the control of the driver due to storm storm, hurricane. The pilot is not as immune to an engine malfunction, a broken wing facing a storm or a storm, and equally immune to zero visibility can create a disaster and even death of the pilot. So it is with Fabien. This
counterpart in Night Flight , Saint Exupery tells us that the risk drivers are many. And socially as the author writes: "The general interest premium to the detriment of particular interest," the pilot during a mission highlight the personal anguish and family same level in each of their flight. What constitutes a major risk to the psychological and family because the family is never safe return of their husbands in homes. In addition to these drivers face the education of their children appear to be absentee parents hence the lack of affection of children vis-à-vis their parents.
III. The professionalism of the pilots
1. The pilots will
Faced with the many dangers faced by drivers are therefore grounds for asserting that the pilots may at any time their lives. So they had an extraordinary commitment and courage. The pilots did lacking. Their leader, too, for not resting River (p.28). And responsibility for their tools and their own lives was enough to push them to excel so that pilots face of danger, are almost "Without having to fight, they shook hands on the controls ( p.36). The narrator even adds: "The cyclone is nothing" (p.37). However it is the chief river that inspired them this desire: "The man was for him a blank slate that he had kneaded. He had to give a soul to this matter, it will create (...) it created this desire. Thus, despite all these dangers, These drivers enjoy their work. "These men are happy because they love what they do and they love it because I'm tough." (P.47)
2. The expertise of the pilots
We just show that pilots love their job, but mostly because they are working even if River was never quiet during a night flight. Fabian in his cab was not only "very comfortable" (p.22), but he skillfully manipulated the tools of work, reflected in the action verbs: "He patted the electrical switchboard, touched contacts a to move a little, leaned more and sought the best position to better feel the swaying of the five tons of metal that night moving shoulders "(p.22). In addition, for comparison, we see that Pellerin fate of his journey through his experience, and he speaks "of his flight as a forge of his bum" (p.42). Besides the control of the work is confirmed by the Inspector Robineau that feels less important than the drivers. Yet, faced with extreme danger, the pilot could only surrender to chance. The conclusion to be drawn from Night Flight is positive in that, despite the death of Fabian, the work contained as "a victory weakens a people, a defeat in another alarm."
3. Drivers for Progress
pilots were true messengers since at the cost of their lives that they undertake this profession full of risk because the danger is often composed of unknown or unexpected obstacles. But the service's success airmail, and the name of progress of aviation and therefore of all humanity, they must complete their mission but perilous. So they give up "what makes life sweet" for the happiness of families waiting for the letters in their possession. That why the narrator notes that "a man was working somewhere that life is continuous, so that ... ever, from Toulouse to Buenos Aires, do not break the chain." (p. 77)
Thus each pilot is responsible for him himself and his tool. Responsible also for men (and women comrades). Also Fabien "held in his hands the beating heart of his friend and his own" (p. 138).
In of Terre des hommes even Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the hero Guillaumet was "responsible for it, and mail comrades who hope (...) a little responsible for the fate of men, to the extent of his work. "
Conclusion
Night Flight can be considered the novel that teaches the responsibility of the head and the subjects that are each in what concerns to play its full role in helping achieve the goals. All this requires the sacrifice and the spirit of tolerance. Is that these illustrious pilgrims civil aviation know why they are there and working to ensure that life continues, so that happiness and peace remains blessed. These pilots reach and, through their heroic deeds, immortality. River will survive by its action.
