Biggles
For over fifty years James Biggles Worth, D.S.O., D.F.C., M.C., has flown the skies. Yet until now Biggles has often been seen as a storybook caricature. The mythical ace to end all flying aces, the fearless pilot of everything from Sop with Camels to the earliest jets, he emerged with glory from devilish scrapes all over the world.
But not the extraordinary man he really was. A dashed fine chap, certainly. Here, for the first time, is an insight into the 'real' man who made these adventures possible.
In Biggles, first published in 1978, John Pearson has unravelled the missing strands in Biggles' life; delving vigorously into subjects that were once taboo. Why did Biggles never marry? What was the truth about his tragic first love?
And what were Biggles' real regrets and frustrations as he tried to come to terms with a rapidly developing world in peacetime? The truth - so long hidden behind a stiff upper lip and an equally stiff pink gin in the Officers' Mess - is at last revealed.
