Biggles makes a name for himself as a crack fighter pilot.
The insanity of World War One shows no sign of letting up, and for the pilots of 266 Squadron the missions over No Man’s Land continue.
But, not one to let a bad situation get him down, Biggles and his pals find ways to keep themselves entertained. From rustling a turkey for Christmas dinner to staging competitions to see who can drop propaganda leaflets furthest over the Lines, the pilots revel in the thrills of flying.
But tragedy is never far away in wartime. When a British pilot is killed in cold blood, Biggles joins his comrades to seek revenge…
A classic set of Biggles’ adventures. Chocks away!
