Biggles Information
So maybe you guys don't know who Biggles is. I could sit here and give a beautiful long summary and it wouldn't properly sum him up. Instead I shall give you a beautiful short summary, my blog and a link to Biggles' wikipedia page. Maybe that will fill the gaps. Who knows?

Alright, here goes my summary. Biggles is short for James Bigglesworth. Biggles is a fictional character who spans more than 98 books. The series is written by Captain W.E. Johns, a WWI fighter pilot. Biggles begins when James Bigglesworth joins the Royal Flying Corps in WWI. He starts out in two seater fighter aircraft before moving to Sopwith Camels. His cousin, Algy (Algernon Lacey) soon joins him on the front along with various other characters including Mahoney and McLaren. After WWI Biggles has numerous flying adventures with his newest protege Ginger Hebblethwaite. When WWII comes around the friends are joined by Bertie Lissie as their adventures continue.
Honestly I can't do Biggles justice and neither can the movie. Please, just read the books. At QBD in Australia you can buy an omnibus for five dollars if you get it on sale. :D Read it and haunt the second hand book stores for more.
