France’s first Transatlantic mail service Aéropostale was an extraordinary human adventure. Because they raised their passion for flight to the level of personal sacrifice pioneers such as Mermoz, Guillaumet and Saint-Exupery, aviators or poets, have become model heroes of Man’s struggle to master the air and exemples, in France and around the world, of courage and will. Aéropostale is an adventure of machines and men, of the human conquest of technology, a story of stubbornness, generosity and friendship.
