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.

Buck Danny is mentioned in a Patrick Modiano novel - that's the only reason I acquired this book. I need to find out why.

So I decided to give a chance to Buck Danny and I can only say - what a revelation!
Similar to T&L, authors try to keep things realistic. In here Buck and his friends are always in danger, fighter planes while highly maneuverable are not untouchable and there is attrition from being engaged by the opposition planes and air defense. When engaged with multiple fighter planes no matter the type situation is not an easy one and numbers prevail in more situations than they not. People die and that is the cost of being military fighter pilot during the war-time (although even peace time can be deadly - standard issues like engine catching fire etc can also end in pilot's death.
Visuals of planes, procedures, story itself ... I can only say it is excellent.
Highly recommended to all fans of Tanguy and Laverdure and in general [military] aviation.… (mehr)
