THE JOY RIDE - Biggles decides to go for a ride in a captured German Albatross and finds himself in trouble.

THE BRIDGE PARTY - Henry Watkins, nicknamed 'the Professor', is determined to blow up a German held bridge and has a good idea how to do it.

THE BOTTLE PARTY - Henry Watkins has an idea as to how to shoot down the three new balloons at Duneville.

THE TRAP - The Germans have set up a balloon with two dummies in it as a deadly trap, packed with high explosive. Biggles sees it and is suspicious of the lack of movement of the observers and flies back to his Squadron to warn everybody.

THE FUNK - Biggles has to train three new fliers, called Harcourt, Howell and Sylvester, who are posted to his flight. The first thing Biggles does is to give them six hours' flying practice a day, for three days, before he takes them over the lines; THE PROFESSOR COMES BACK - The Germans report that Henry Watkins, who was previously shot down and believed killed is a prisoner of war.

THE GREAT ARENA - When Biggles' guns jam against a German Ace he is allowed to live. The German salutes and lets him fly away.

THE DRAGON'S LAIR - Biggles, Algy and Henry Watkins - the Professor, are out on patrol when they see a Bristol fighter mysteriously shot down

BIGGLES' DAY OFF! - With no activity in his sector for a week, Biggles decides on the spur of the moment to fly to England to visit his Godfather, Dr. Duvency. Landing his Camel in a large garden, Biggles finds that the Doctor has invented a new type of anti-submarine bomb and has even built a plane to try dropping it; SCOTLAND FOR EVER! - Biggles gets the shock of his life when he lands at the 266 Squadron aerodrome in Maranique only to find that the Germans have broken through the British lines and taken it over.
