What a fun book! Air Detective Inspector Bigglesworth, C.I.D. and his Air Police and their deeds of derring-do in WW1 is a fun look into the rather distant past when biplanes were the newest thing. Originally published in 1952, this is one of a rather large series that seemed to have been very popular judging by the number of reprints. I really liked the audio done by Chirag Patel (Narrator) who has an astounding range of characters. My favorite is Biggles' commanding officer because the voice is so clear that I can picture the man in his muttonchops doing What Ho and all that! ( )
