English title: Au grand terrace
Starring:
Pierre Fresnay (Gilles Carbot)

The Aéropostale story seen through the pen of Joseph Kessel.
Note : The romanticized names of Gilles Carbot and Jean Fabien are actually those of Didier Daurat and Jean Mermoz. Minus the aerobatics done during employment testing, most of the facts between Carbot and Fabien are highly romanticized.
Several scenes from the introduction will be repeated in Horizons sans fin.
