Biggles: Adventures in Time is a 1986 adventure film based on the character Biggles from the series of novels written by Captain W.E. Johns.

Plot[]

One minute the New Yorker advertising expert Jim Ferguson is at a business party -- the next he finds himself way back in 1917 in a plane fight during World War I. Mr. Raymond explains to him that he has a time-twin, to whom he's relocated in space and time whenever one of them is in trouble. So he has to help his twin, biplane pilot Biggles, in his attempt to destroy a German super weapon, that could win their war. Of course it's hard for Jim to explain his sudden disappearances to his fiance, Debbie.

Steampunk elements[]

The film has some elements of dieselpunk, but is primarily a period(s)-accurate time-travel film with the time-travel aspect firmly rooted in fantasy.
