Even the best of heroes can find themselves in a sticky situation, and this is one of the very stickiest. How will our hero survive when he is set to hunt himself?
Biggles is working on an undercover mission in Norway when the streets outside his hotel are stormed by Nazis. His escape via the aerodrome is thwarted by renegades working with the S.S. To avoid capture or worse, Biggles camouflages himself as a Norwegian traitor and swears into the German Air-Force, donning a swastika armlet and adopting the role of a Nazi. With no intention of remaining in Nazi occupied Norway, Biggles uses the first opportunity to escape into Sweden, where he is put through to Colonel Raymond at Headquarters.
But Biggles is strategically placed behind enemy lines, and Colonel Raymond has other ideas for him.
A pilot thrust back into the role of a spy, Biggles must use every resource available to avoid detection and gather as much intelligence about the enemy's movements as possible – but the Gestapo are on the lookout for a British soldier stationed in Norway, and his arch nemesis Erich von Stalhein is right on his tail.
