Captain W. E. Johns Knihy

Společnosti obchodující se zlatem a drahými kameny bijí na poplach. Všechny větší zásilky jsou ukradeny a firmy se bojí své zboží letecky přepravovat. Má to ale jeden háček - aby mohli vydělávat, musí pružně reagovat na výkyvy trhu, ale to bez letadel nejde. Jedna z nich si založí vlastní leteckou společnost. Tu tvoří dvě letadla pilotovaná Bigglesem a jeho společníky. Všechny zásilky, i přes napadení stíhačkou, doručí a nakonec odhalí i organizéry této sabotáže.

War has just been declared and Biggles is asked to take charge of a secret squadron operating from a cave inside a barren rock in the Baltic Sea. His orders are to cause as much trouble to the enemy as possible, for as long as possible.

The Air Ministry have allowed Biggles, Algy, Ginger and Smyth to accompany a party of volunteers to help Finland in their struggle against Soviet aggression. Whilst on a reconnaissance flight, Biggles finds a dying Polish scientist called Petolski, who had been working on important experiments with metal alloys for aircraft. He had the results of seven years' labour in a portfolio with him and rather than let the research fall into German hands, (Poland having been invaded by Germany), he has hidden it.

Ještě se naposled vraťme do první světové války. Ke 266. letce přichází mladší bratr pilota, kterého sestřelili Němci. „Musíme jim pomoci,“ říká Biggles a průzkum začíná. Jedna z prvních a nejlepších autorových knih!

Letec Biggles tentokrát pomáhá malé zemi udržet svobodu a nezávislost, ohroženou mocnějším sousedem.

Set against the backdrop of World War One, the story follows Biggles, a skilled fighter pilot in 266 Squadron, as he navigates the chaos of aerial combat. Despite the grim realities of war, he and his comrades find moments of levity, from humorous holiday antics to lighthearted competitions. However, the shadow of tragedy looms when a fellow pilot is murdered, prompting Biggles and his friends to pursue vengeance. This classic adventure captures the thrills and challenges faced by pilots during tumultuous times.

Fifteen hours of flying training thrusts seventeen-year-old Biggles into the perilous world of aerial combat over France. As he navigates the challenges of piloting and faces the formidable Red Baron, he must depend on the seasoned members of his Flight to survive. This origin story captures Biggles' thrilling journey from novice to fighter pilot, filled with intense action and the struggle to prove himself in the skies. Will he rise to the occasion and become the hero he aspires to be?

Biggles se stává velitelem letky stihačů, kteří jsou vynikajícími piloty, ale na zemi se chovají velmi výstředně.
