Fifteen hours. That is all the flying training seventeen-year-old Biggles receives before gaining his 'wings' and being sent to carry out missions over the battlefields of France.
Biggles quickly gets to grips with his new plane, but is completely inexperienced in aerial combat. He must rely on the more knowledgeable men in his Flight if he is to survive the German attacks.
But it isn't long before he finds himself in the gun sights of von Richthofen, the dreaded Red Baron himself Does Biggles have what it takes to be a real fighter pilot?
Get ready for all the thrills and spills of Biggles' origin story as he gets his first taste of combat.
William Earl Johns was an English adventure writer, best known as the creator of the beloved Biggles stories, which drew on his experience as a pilot in the First World War. After his flying career with the RAF, Johns became a newspaper air correspondent, an occupation he combined with editing and illustrating books about flying. He wrote over 160 books, including nearly 100 Biggles titles.
