Ghosts Of Biggin Hill (2001) By Bob Ogley
 
Biggin Hill is best known for its role during the Battle of Britain in the Second World War, when it served as one of the principal fighter bases protecting London and South East England from attack by enemy bombers. Over the course of the war, fighters based at Biggin Hill claimed 1,400 enemy aircraft, at the cost of the lives of 453 Biggin Hill-based aircrew.
 
Biggin Hill station was born in the days of the Royal Flying Corps and was operational from 1917 to 1939. In the last days of the Great War, there were many casualties as well as loss of life; in fact, the first aviator to die crashed in the valley to the west of the airfield, the first of many tragedies. Some years after the war, Biggin Hill welcomed members of the celebrated No. 56 Squadron. They came from the Western Front. Nos. 32 and 23 Squadrons followed in the 1930s.
