What they share

Both films are directed by John Hough, and they both carry the outsider, playful mood tags, and they sit in Family / Fantasy / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Return from Witch Mountain, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Biggles is

Here's a film that wants to be both a ripping yarn and a "fish out of temporal water" story. A modern salesman keeps bouncing back to World War I to aid a British pilot. It's not quite *Wings*, but it is quite something.
