For over fifty years James Biggles Worth, D.S.O., D.F.C., M.C., has
flown the skies. 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. Yet until now Biggles has often been seen as a storybook
caricature. A dashed fine chap, certainly, but not the
extraordinary man he really was. Here, for the first time, is an
insight into the 'real' man who made these adventures possible. In
Biggles, his fictional biography, 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.
