Biggles.
But Maverick would win at cards.
Biggles would win, but Maverick has a better soundtrack.

Hi there, I want to talk to you about ducts.
Depends Maverick would probably win in a fist fight as he's stronger than Biggles. (then again Biggles would confuse him with his English wit). In the air Biggles. Maverick may have an F14 and all the (at the time) latest and greatest technology but Biggles is a bit more dextrous than he is. "If you can fly a sopworth Camel, you can fly anything" to qoute. Plus he has a flying helmet with old school gogles :P
shareAlso, Maverick only had Goose, and he died.
Biggles has Algy AND Ginger AND Bertie, who (if you've ever read any of Captain Johns's books) all seem to be immortal :)

It depends, stick Maverick in a sopworth camel, and stick Biggles in an F14, Biggles can fly anything.... he'd never even seen a helecopter before and he had no worries with that, but Maverick would be lost in an old byplane I reckon.
sharePut them both in a bi-plane and Biggles would win. Put them both in an F14 and once Biggles had gotten used to the g-forces and speed of a jet fighter he would win again.
Maverick did not display ingenuity or inventiveness in 'actual' combat. I discount the inverted flying above the MiG at the beginning of Top Gun, as if they had been in an actual dogfight, the MiG would not have allowed it to get into that position.
"I'm not really me. Thats me there- that pile of albino mouse droppings!"
I know a bit about flying, and I can tell you right now that even though I'd love to see Biggles beat Maverick, and he probably would, I just want to respond to the comment that Maverick would be out of his element in an old biplane. On the contrary, a great many new pilots trained in old and new biplanes, as well as Piper Super Cubs, which have a very similar cockpit and control configuration.
Maverick would at least technically be able to handle a biplane just fine, but Biggles would be more comfortable IN A DOGFIGHT with a biplane than Maverick, as Mav was trained for such combat in a jet, not a biplane.
