Biggles again....

[Ginger.]

I know we've done this before, but we've got a few new and younger recruits who may not have had the pleasure.
Which are your favourite and best WW! Biggles adventures?

My personal favourite has to be "Biggles Flies East".

Spys, dodgy arab tribesmen, sabotage, more spies, evil german ace gets his come-uppance, shullduggery, assassins, an inept german general and, strangely enough (considering other threads currently being flogged out...) Biggles finds himself with a german squadron and indeed recommended for the iron cross after dragging his wounded german gunner across the desert in a pantechnicon fashioned from thier downed plane.

A good yarn all round.

I think probably W.E.J best...I have every biggles story now so I feel qualified to comment.

The best one (for me at least) is probably Biggles learns to fly. It's an interesting and fairly autobiographical insight into a young man getting into flying and learning about air combat. As such, it is full of fascinating period details which are rarely touched upon in other books of the period - even completely factual autobiographies - so although it is fiction, you can still glean a lot of information from it about that time.
