Adventures with amazing flying machines! SPECIAL MISSION It's the First World War and Biggles is just 17. The planes are primitive; combat tactics are non-existent; the only form of communication for pilots and their gunners is by hand signals. They are reliant on the skill of their fellow crew, their wit and, above all else, bravery. In hostile enemy skies, where instinct and fast reactions are everything, Biggles must learn to be a real fighter pilot, or die...but does he have what it takes?

Biggles, and his three friends, Algy, Bertie and Ginger are household names worldwide. In this collection of three of his finest stories, the reader can enjoy the story of how Biggles first learnt to fly, in the war-torn skies above France; of his first encounter with his evil arch enemy, Von Stalhein, and of how he tackled a deadly peril threatening the air routes between China and India in the Second World War.

BIGGLES LEARNS TO FLY Age just seventeen and with almost no flying experience, James Bigglesworth is sent to tackle the enemy in the hostile skies over First World War France. In a drama of war, where instinct and fast reactions are everything, Biggles must learn to be a real fighter pilot, or die...but does he have what it takes? BIGGLES THE CAMELS ARE COMING Fighting high above the trenches of First World War France Biggles knows he needs more than just flying skills to survive against the Sopwith Camel – a demon to fly, but incredibly fast in a dogfight, it commands fierce loyalty from its pilot. Will Biggles’ luck and initiative be enough to keep him alive?
