- Biggles is huge in the Netherlands, and this site collates an awful lot of information about our favourite characters in the one (Dutch) spot.
- Bigglesbooks.com
- An online bookseller's dedicated to the works of Capt Johns. Contains some useful research of editions, etc, not just a list of prices.
aviation resources

- Probably the most comprehensive site for information on the real characters, events and aircraft of the Great War.
- worldwarbombers.com
- Contains a fascinating description of the experiences of an RAF bomber pilot during WW2.
- Australian Aviation Archive
- The best place to go for details of aircraft that served in the RAAF. Including some wierd, unique models named after bizarre fauna.
- The WW1 Document Archive
- Interesting/eclectic collection of photos from the war. Includes characters and aircraft, as well as some more general aviation-related events.
- Code One Cockpit Issue
- A collection of images of the cockpits of a lot of different aircraft. Mainly modern fighters (which are interesting enough) but also a few older aircraft to compare.
- British Aircraft of WW2
- Stumbled across this site while trying to find Larapindi's Gull (from Biggles in the Orient). Looks a pretty comprehensive compilation of facts and photos.
other resources
- Uboat.Net
- Comprehensive portal for all things submarine.
- First World War Posters
- A fascinating collection of propoganda posters from the Great War. I'm sure Biggles and Co saw a few of these on their occasional trips home during the battles.
