Biggles Holiday Airdrop has dropped!

And we are wallowing in a glorious sea of fic!

https://archiveofourown.org/collections/bigglesholidayairdrop2023/works

We have 27(!!) total, which is almost twice the number of people in the exchange! (Which was 14.) And there's always the possibility of more treats before author reveals on Saturday.

I am overwhelmed with my bounty of lovely gifts, on which I still need to comment!

You could definitely do worse than trying "Biggles Flies East" set in WW1, which is one of the earliest books and a good starting point. :) It'll probably give you a good sense of how most of the series works. It's available on a few places like the faded pages site, or others. If you need a link I can DM.

There are a few earlier books in the series but they are usually short stories and they make much more sense when you already know and love these characters.
