YABS - Yet Another Biggles Site

Welcome 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.

From Losse (Jun 2008):

Again: one of the best! Absolutely chock-full of relentless suspense. Biggles leads the Nazis a merry chase round and about Norway. A classic.

Just uploaded a neat little film snippet taken (fair use - honest) from a movie I have on the Red Baron. Shows some great archival footage of dogfights, pilots and the baron himself.

All I can say is, he looks so young!
