Product Description
Product Description
A burst of bullets struck Biggles' machine somewhere just behind him, and he jerked the control-stick back into his stomach. A Hun shot past his wing-tip, so close that Biggles flinched. 'That's too close!', he muttered. 'Where the dickens are the S. E.'s?' Biggles battles through the First World War, honing his flying skills in terrifying battles against the finest fighters the enemy can supply. But he finds war provides more light-hearted adventures as well, and this collection of stories from early in Biggles' career combines the fun of being part of 266 squadron and the fear of deadly serious aerial combat.
From the Back Cover
A desperate plan!

From the Back Cover
A desperate plan!
As the First World War progresses, Biggles, air ace, finds himself up against the finest fighters in battles where every split second counts. But not all his adventures take place in the air, and not all of them are deadly serious. Even in the bitter fields of war, the men of 266 squadron find time to share laughs as well as thrills.
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.
