Malraux himself flew 65 missions, crashed twice...
...last planes shot up, Malraux rushed off to the U.S., scoured the country from New York to Hollywood raising money and exhorting intellectuals to join Spain's anti-Fascist fight. If they lived, he said, their writing would be the better for the experience; if they died, their deaths would be more vital documents than anything they could write from an ivory tower...
