Biggles
This from an e-mail exchange with RFF'er Barry Haworth. I dunno. The name just got me. Biggles.
Far cry from "Bloody Red Barron". Wonder if Captain Johns was a WWI pilot himself?

"Series of books for boys written by English author, Captain W.E. Johns
between the 1930s and the 1960s. Biggles was a pilot in WW1, and the books
detail his adventures in WW1, between the wars, WW2 and after. Mostly
adventure type stories, very popular in England and Australia (& I think in
Canada & New Zealand - though he never got into the US market much).

Johns wrote some SF as well which I also enjoyed, though if was more F than
S."
