This is a dozen connected short stories that follows the formation of the 666 squadron, with Biggles as the squadron leader and with pilots too unruly to be anywhere else as members.

In some ways it feels like some of the WWI stories have just been transplanted to WWII and in one case it is very similar (the pig one - compare to a flower one from WWI).

Still, easy read, lots of action. ( )
