Re: Favorite Battle Scene

Agincourt, especially in Kenneth Branagh's film. Mud, blood and arrows. Especially impressive on the big screen, when it first came out.

A Biggles short story, The Great Arena. All the WW1 battle scenes are great - the author was a pilot himself and by gosh, he could write - but that huge dogfight is particularly vivid. Also the battle in "Biggles Learns to Fly" in which they're fighting in a vast chasm in the clouds, thousands of feet deep, at the bottom of which he sees other planes darting and swirling like tiny, brightly-coloured fish... The other thing I like about his dogfight scenes is that Biggles, in his one encounter with the Red Baron, can't even get on his tail. Unlike, y'know, practically every other WW1 aviation story that's ever been published. But Johns knew how difficult and dangerous war flying really was during that era.
