A tad bit late

A former German Luffwaffe pilot fears that he might have killed the French author and war time pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupery back in 1944.
Saint-Exupery, who achieved worldwide fame with his fairy-tale-like book "The Little Prince," died in mysterious circumstances when his plane came down near Marseilles while on a reconnaissance mission. His body has never been found.
A tad bit late to fear for something that happened for more than 60 years ago. But I guess even at 88 one wants to have 15 minutes of fame.
