Biggles Learns to Fly Mass market paperbound - 1992

by W. E. Johns; Captain W. Johns


Summary

Biggles is back! And with new retro-style covers he'll be bigger than ever!He tilted the machine on to its side, holding up his nose with the throttle, and commenced to slip wing-tip first towards the ground. Whether he was over British or German territory he neither knew nor cared; he had to get on to the ground or be burnt alive.This is the story of the very beginning – of the Air Service and of Biggles. It's the First World War and Biggles is just 17; the planes are primitive; combat tactics are non-existent; and pilots and their gunners communicate by hand signals and have no contact with the ground. This is where Biggles learns his craft and finds he has a certain aptitude for flying in battle...
