newsWelcome to Yet Another Biggles Site (YABS)
Yet Another Biggles Site (YABS to its friends) is one of many sites for James Bigglesworth, the intrepid pilot hero of Capt W.E. Johns.
YABS' aims are:
- to allow readers to review, rate, and thus rank, all the Biggles adventures
- to provide a complete reference for all characters and craft mentioned in those adventures
- to provide an accessible and modifiable bibliography
As a result, this is most definitely a reader's site. And that's because I'm sure, like me, most of us are readers first, collectors second.

random review
From jason (Dec 2009):
cocnuts, palm-trees, cyclones, giant octopi, swordfish, murderous villains, pearls, native help and the vast expanses of the pacific. a fantastic adventure in the mould of Flies West. entertaining from start to finish, and Ginger gets to demonstrate a rare affinity for the fairer sex.
Can you guess what title is being described?
recent site news
Biggles Learns to Fly
The new Norman Wright has arrived (or at least my copy has).
Next Norman Wright
Feel a little like a scoop reporter. Thanks to CraigMiles, one of the regulars, the news is that the next Norman Wright title will be Biggles Learns to Fly. As for Biggles in France, the edition will reflect the original illustrations and text from Modern Boy.
ETA is early 2010. Here's hoping the GBP stays in the financial toilet until then so us Australians can buy these books in bulk :-)
Biggles the read-along book
Via Boing Boing have found out about one chap's intention to collate all the Read-Along Adventures in a single site. Complete with the original audio and flash-based perusal of the pages.
Of interest to us here because one of the titles is Biggles. Although, sadly that's one he's still after.
So watch this space. And either wait for Biggles to appear. Or if you've got a copy, send it in!
