Biggles Recounts The Falklands War Paperback (August 2007)
A graphical retelling of the Falklands War (1982) between the UK and Argentina. Absolutely nothing to do with Biggles, with him not even appearing to introduce the tale. Only explanation is on the rear cover where it is noted that "Biggles Recounts is a collection of real history books in which aviation plays the greater role".

Originally published as "Biggles raconte... Le Bataille des Malouines" by Lombard, 2003. Story is written by Bernard Asso and Joel Rideau, illustrated by Daniel Chauvin and Marcel Uderzo, coloured by Frederic Bergese. English translation is by Luke Spear.

48pp. ISBN 978-1-905460-22-9. Rear cover shows 'Biggles recounts Battle of Britain' as coming soon.
