Biggles Recounts: The Falklands War

[Nick]

Saw this title yesterday in the Ian Allen bookshop and did a double-take. It's not a story of ol' Biggles, Algy and Ginger serving in the modern RAF in 1982 but more a graphic novel telling the story of how the Conflict happened and turned out.

The story telling is quite simple and straightforward, demonstrating how the people on both sides had pretty much the same feelings and how the battles were fought and medals won. The artwork is nicely done with action shots and recognisable famous faces.

It is mainly about the flying but the naval and land actions get a good look-in with the Task Force sailing south and the Army marching over the mountains.

Best of all, this is just the first in a series. The back cover advertises the next book as Biggle Recounts: The Battle of Britain and internet blurb suggests there are more stories of famous aviation events to follow.

Got both....they must be rep[rints, although come to think of it, mine might be in Flemish or something as a lot are published in Belgium.
Biggles is BIG in Belgium.
It's a while since I looked at them.

Bought this one five years ago. Good reading, albeit there's some goofs... (no reheat on Skyhwak, so there's no way lamenting about   )
