Quiz: Biggles in WWI
How well do you know Biggles' adventures in WWI? Take this quiz to find out. You may want to reread Rescue Flight, Learns to Fly, Biggles of 266, Biggles of the Camel Squadron and Biggles Flies East before you begin.
No cheating from me either except I have recently read all the WWI stories - so I suppose that is a sort of cheating. I would have got them all right except there appears to be an error in Q7.
The quiz answer that appeared on my screen said that to get high enough to shoot down the plane with the special camera, Biggles' mechanic fitted a new engine. But he didn't. He fitted wing extensions. And the words of the quiz answer do say that, so it must just be an incorrect link.
I think the question was what did Biggles NOT do to the plane, if I remember correctly, because I know he put less fuel in and did the wings and put n fewer bullets and all, and all those were in the answers when I took the quiz.

ReplyDeleteYou are spot on :-) And they polished it too, didn't they!
ReplyDeleteActually a pretty easy quiz for those of us who are WWI addicts. If it had been Biggles in the air police, I'd probably have got most of them wrong...
Me too--the air police books are mostly one big blur with me.
