Biggles Meets Bond
Having grown up in the same Scottish
town on the same bonnie, bonnie banks as the story's likeable hero I
was therefore more than interested in reading this short novel.
Set immediately prior to WWII the tale taxies down the runway and
takes off at a fairly fast-pace with its Biggles meets Bond main
character confidently at the controls. Its
fictional storyline is almost believable, though its ending is
perhaps a wee bit too predictable. However, had the author not brought this
adventurous yarn in for a landing the way I was eagerly anticipating
and hoping (nay, begging!) he would, I would have shot him down in flames
myself and wanted my money back! I am pleased to say that I was uplifted!
Hugh Wilson had me soaring, even looping-the-loop, in Caledonian Skies!
Well done!
