«L'équipage» is Joseph Kessel's war novel, published by Folio in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Novel inspired by the author's experience as a French aviator in the First World War. Jean Herbillon and Claude Maury form the crew of a reconnaissance aircraft; their thirst for glory clashes with the brutality of aerial combat. The war creates a strong friendship between them, which is endangered when they fall in love with the same woman.
Originally published in 1923, it was Kessel's first major success and the work that introduced aviation into literature. This 1972 French edition belongs to the Folio collection.
For readers of war and historical fiction and for those who wish to read in its original language a work of twentieth-century French literature.
