Brilliant short stories of air combat in the pioneer days of the Royal Flying Corps – some of Biggles’ most exciting adventures. They are all set against the authentic background of war-torn France, over which the author himself flew and fought as a pilot.
The humour, daring, and curious quirks of character, together with Johns’ first-hand knowledge of World War 1 air combat, give the stories a fascinating realism that has endured for almost a century.
