About this listen

Michael Palin reads this classic adventure by W. E. Johns, featuring pilot-adventurer James 'Biggles' Bigglesworth.

When Biggles receives a letter from an old wartime chum asking for help, he responds at once. With his comrades Algy, Ginger and Flight Sergeant Smyth, our hero flies to Fort Beaver in Canada, where winter is closing in around the remote airfield. There he discovers that his buddy Wilks is being menaced by a sinister character called 'Brindle' McBain and his cronies.

Wilks has started a small airline business, but McBain wants to take over, and he'll stop at nothing to get Wilks out of the way. With the threats of sabotage, theft, and even murder in play, all their lives are now in danger.

Can Biggles save the day and defeat McBain? Or will they perish in the frozen north?

The 1920s and 1930s abounded with authors, many former pilots, who were writing aviation adventure stories aimed at young men and boys who were eager to learn more about the exciting and still very new frontiers created by the invention of the airplane. It's easy to find such books in old antique shops and bookstores, but quite difficult to find them as audiobooks. This book, read with appropriate period zeal by the great Michael Palin, is a real treat, and feels a bit like watching an old adventure film like Gunga Din in one's head.

They don't write them like this anymore.
