Preceded Night Flight by only two years, yet the latter work was by far the better and more focused. The pilot in Southern Mail flies a mail plane from Toulouse through Spain and along the West Coast of Africa to Dakar before heading across the Atlantic to Buenos Aires. Is more fixated on his pilot, Jacques Bernis, here than in Night Flight. There is as much about Bernis' adulterous relationship with his girlfriend Genevieve than there is on the flight.

There seems to be some wildly inconsistent points of view, ranging from first person plural (we are never told who belongs to this group), third person singular, and first person singular. If a greater emphasis had been placed on the pilot himself, Southern Mail would have been a tighter novel. As it is, it is still worth reading -- although nowhere in the same class as Night Flight, which remains perhaps the greatest classic of the early days of flying. There are times when one reads a book for the sheer joy of the words and how they flow together to form sentences and how the sentences rush to form a river of words which carry us to the source. Southern Mail is such a book and even though the translation isn't perfect, I have to remember this was written and translated in 1933 when English language readers were much more literate than they are today and the meaning of words could be reasoned out.

This was a time, in a part of the world where this takes place, when instant communication was not even dreamed of. Information was communicated via telegram once or twice a week.

And those telegrams had a sole purpose: to inform the mail station that a plane was coming in with the mail. The book is a diary of a wanderer; one who sails above us trapped in a cocoon but free as the wind. It is the story of his friend and their mutual friend and the tragedy that surrounds them. It is ultimately a story of lonliness but more intensely, aloneness. Even though the writing is spectacularly beautiful, even though the story is heart breaking, I only gave it three stars because the pathos dates it, at least for me. A melancholic work. I think it would have been much better if I could read the book in its original language.
