Michael Palin reads this classic adventure by W. E. Johns, featuring
pilot-adventurer James 'Biggles' Bigglesworth
When Biggles receives a letter from an old wartime chum asking for help,
he responds at once. With his comrades, Algy, Ginger and Flight Sergeant
Smyth, our hero flies to Fort Beaver in Canada, where winter is closing
in around the remote airfield. There he discovers that his buddy Wilks
is being menaced by a sinister character called 'Brindle' McBain and his
cronies.
Wilks has started a small airline business, but McBain wants to take
over and he'll stop at nothing to get Wilks out of the way. With the
threats of sabotage, theft, and even murder in play, all their lives are
now in danger.
Can Biggles save the day and defeat McBain? Or will they perish in the
frozen north?
