Biggles dogfights over the trenches as World War 1 takes to the skies!
Read the full description
The war is in its final two years. The frontline is static, bogged down in mud and warrens of trenches, neither side able to advance. But it's a different story in the skies. Dramatic dogfights and daring deeds dazzle the soldiers watching from the ground, as British and German pilots scrap for control of the air.
Biggles, Algy - and introducing, 'The Professor' - along with the rest of 266 Squadron, RFC, bravely fly mission after mission over No Man's Land and into German airspace, risking their lives to give the Tommies any advantage they can…
Grab your flying goggles for explosive, dramatic adventures with Biggles in the skies over France!
Captain W. E. Johns was born in Hertfordshire in 1893. He flew with the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War and made a daring escape from a German prison camp in 1918. Between the wars he edited Flying and Popular Flying and became a writer for the Ministry of Defence. The First Biggles story, Biggles the Camels are Coming was published in 1932, and W. E. Johns went on to write a staggering 102 Biggles titles before his death in 1968.
