An amazing set of watercolours painted whilst serving on the Western Front by Biggles creator W.E.Johns have emerged for sale.<br />
<br />
W.E.Johns was a bomber pilot in the fledgling RFC during the Great War, and his keen eye for detail has recorded Sopwith Camels and Fokker Triplane's wheeling through the skies.<br />
<br />
He was shot down and captured in 1918, but after the conflict he re-joined the RAF before creating boys own hero  James 'Biggles' Bigglesworth in the 1930's.<br />

Sworders 27th June, Est £1000.
