Biggles quickly gets to grips with his new plane, but is completely inexperienced in aerial combat. He must rely on the more experienced men in his Flight if he is to survive the German attacks. But it isn’t long before he finds himself in the gun sights of von Richtofen, the dreaded Red Baron himself… Does Biggles have what it takes to be a real fighter pilot?
