Biggles has to train three new pilots and one of them does not make it back from the first real mission. An insult of dropped boots from the Germans, implying they should join the infantry, causes Biggles to go into a snit but nothing like one of the new guys who wants particular revenge over the death of his pet goldfish by the German attack.
