B. Arriving in New York City after escaping France

C. Crashing in the Sahara Desert in Libya

D. Beginning his military service

Answer Explanation

A. Pioneering international postal fight

The timeline suggests that after pioneering international postal flights in 1926, Saint-Exupéry published his first novel, "Night Flight," in 1931. This indicates a possible influence of his experiences in the field of international postal flights on his literary work.

c. Crashing in the Sahara Desert in Libya

While the event of crashing in the Sahara Desert in Libya in 1935 is a significant and dramatic occurrence in Saint-Exupéry's life, it might not directly influenced the publication of "Night Flight" in 1931. The crash happened after the publication of the novel, and the novel itself might have been influenced more by his experiences as a pioneering aviator, including his international postal flights.
