Out of the corner of his eyes Biggles saw Dick go overboard and disappear under the foam, but he could do nothing to help him. Indeed, as he fought to keep the flying-boat under control, it seemed certain that during the next minute or two the others must join him. Ashen, he looked at Algy.

Biggles is a hero of the golden age of flight. Typical English Schoolboy reading material, his many adventures are set in the war years or just after and give a sense of simpler times when the good guys were really good and the bad guys always lost.Biggles Flies West stands out amongst these books because it is set on a desert island where Biggles wrecks his seaplane and maroons himself in true Robinson Crusoe style. There are jungles and pirates and even a gold dubloon or two.If you like uncomplicted adventure and like ripping yarns, you'll love Biggles.
