Product Description

Product Description
'Well if you want trouble you can have it!' grated Biggles through set teeth. 'See how you like this!' In the later stages of the First World War, Biggles and his fellow fliers have to use all their wit and skill to stay ahead of the German fighters so determined to bring them down.

From the Back Cover
GOOD SHOW BIGGLESWORTH!

The First World War is nearing its final stages and Biggles and his fellow flyers are struggling to maintain supremacy over the German air aces. In this game cunning is everything and Biggles hatches some outrageous and desperate schemes in order to stay ahead - and alive.

Biggles is back! Now classic fiction, the action-packed adventures of cult hero and flying ace Squadron Leader James Bigglesworth are available in new editions for another generation.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book, 13 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This is a great book it's about Biggles and Algy's adventures during World War 1. they find themselves dicing with death as they fly around France shooting down the Germans. They become very good friend's with a clever pilot which they nickname the 'Professor'. Biggles saves the 'Professor' many times and it makes a great story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real War, 18 Jan 2001
By A Customer
I first thought I hadn't read this book yet but now I realise that I have. It was the first one I read. I loved it because it showed excactly how it felt in a real Camel, in the First World War. It really must have been scary. But, as usual Biggles never dies so he manages to outwit any pilot because most of the Huns (as the RAF and Biggles called them) were not Ace's like Biggles. Biggles is superior. He, and Algy (Ginger and Bertie he hasn't met yet)survive through many battles and dogfights. As well as the story the words used in the book are the same as they probably called them in that time. E.g. Archie which was called Flak in the Second World War.

4.0 out of 5 stars BRILL!, 4 Jan 2008
By man u "pombear" (southampton uk) - See all my reviews
This was the first biggles book i ever read. Formerly Biggles of the Camel Squadron this book has not changed, even though i expected that they would use more up to date language. They Haven't, this book has been unaltered since it was first published. It shows how much strain fighter pilots are under and brings out the heart of the book.
