The World of Biggles

The background to the World of Biggles makes curious reading. Many Biggles enthusiasts talked about compiling a similar book and a few even started working. None got even close to completion and it was left to me to carry out the job - essentially single-handed. Virtually everybody who saw the earlier drafts of the book appeared very supportive and most of the ideas and thoughts they shared with me have been included. If any errors remain the fault lies with me rather than with them. What is contained in the New Biggles Companion? 1) Biggles 1899 to 1945 - Part 1 covers the First World War and Biggles' service in the Royal Flying Corps. 2) Biggles 1899 to 1945 - Part 2 covers his "footloose and fancy free" life between the two world wars. 3) Biggles 1899 to 1945 - Part 3 covers his military service during the Second World War. 4) The complete who, what and when of Biggles' work in the Special Air Police. 5) An in-depth review of Biggles Second Case.
