"Pace. thrills, action, suspense, are the keynotes of these exciting stories of Biggles’ pioneering days of air combat. Young and old alike will be gripped by them, as also by those in Biggles of the Camel Squadron.
The author was himself a pioneer fighter-pilot, and his own experiences of war in the air have enabled him to infuse into the stories a realism that brings the background and drama of the time into vivid focus."
