Biggles !!!
Welke ware man kent er Biggles niet? Welke jongen van vroeger heeft niet die spannende avonturen meebeleefd van de onnavolgbare avonturier Biggles en zijn vrienden.
Biggles en het zwarte gevaar, de vlucht van de condor, Biggles in Frankrijk, Biggles geheim agent, Biggles tart de Swastika, ...
Waar is de tijd gebleven.
Maar wist u dat Biggles ook als vakbondsmens actief was?
Ja hoor, dat staat te lezen in het onovertroffen: Biggles forms a syndicate.

By Jove! It’s Biggles.Posted by Andy - Friday, November 2nd, 2007 Like everyone I am, in great part, a product of my time and in my case that’s late 1950’s innocence and austerity through the 60’s loosening of mores, morals, trouser bottoms and regular visits to the barbers. Whilst much of the 1960’s still resonates the 50’s do not really get a look in and pre-50’s is consigned to the history books.
My young world was filled by The Eagle and Boys’ Own. It was all Dan Dare and Roy of the Rovers. The bookshelf was filled with Just William and Jennings and yes - I’ll admit it - Biggles. Laugh all you want, I was an avid fan of Biggles and his adventures with Ginger and Algy and there were, of course, a huge number of books to read. He may not have been a literary genius but Captain W.E. Johns was nothing short of prolific. He made Barbara Cartland look like an amateur by comparison and rumour had it she could knock off one of her titles in an afternoon!
Rolling forward to 2007, Biggles is really the sort, along with characters like Billy Bunter, that I never expected to hear from again. If nothing else, the stories will break every politically correct rule ever conceived. They are filled with racial stereotypes, the class system, the old establishment and a complete lexicon of stiff upper English expressions which died with the wholesale importing of trashy American television.
But I was wrong. Browsing through my local Waterstones yesterday there it was. A Biggles anthology of four of five books in one big tome. Pride of place it had on one of the tables. So… I say old boy, Biggles flies again!
