Due to a comparison of the handwriting we attribute these leaves to the hand of Saint-Exupéry. Also the provenance - according to the previous owner, these sheets are from the estate of a pilot who was a friend of Saint-Exupéry - suggests that the records are from Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

Antoine Marie Jean-Baptiste Roger Vicomte de Saint Exupéry (1900-1944)

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a renowned and successful author. He was referred to as a ‘cult author’ of the post-war decades, although he saw himself rather only part-time as a writer, because his real profession was being a pilot. His fairytale story "The Little Prince" is one of the best-selling books in the world.
