In 1932, William Earle Johns, veteran of the Royal Flying Corps in the World War I, began writing stories about James Bigglesworth, ace RFC pilot. First there were the stories of the war, but the character proved popular with young people in England and elsewhere, and Johns went on to write dozens of "Biggles" books, carrying his hero around the world and through a second world war and through every kind of adventure imaginable that requires an airplane. The standard of writing is far above most of the kids' books from that era.
