David McK (3791 KP) rated Biggles Learns to Fly in Books

Dec 23, 2020

I was going to start this by saying this was the earliest set of the Biggles stories, back in The First World War.

Then I did a bit of research, and discovered that it depends upon how (and what) you are counting as a Biggles story/book - see http://www.biggles.info/

Perhaps, then, it would be better to say that this is the earliest set of any I have read.

Published in 1935, this is (apparently) a collection of 12 separate short stories, all of which are loosely linked together and follows some of Biggles earlier exploits.

I realise I'm not the target audience for these (I'm now too old). I don't care: sometimes it's nice just to re-live your childhood!

Series 1 was definitely better than series 2. I loved Hannah telling her stories through the tapes. I was good how everyone found out about each other's stories and how they impacted each other. It was very specific in the order that the tapes were played. I really felt for Hannah and understood the decisions he makes. The ending was so sad but it was understanding why she killed herself.
In the 2nd series I wanted certain people to get what they deserved and they didn't. It was hard to keep track of what was happening. When people were lying in court I wanted to walk into the court room and tell people the truth.
