Book description
'Suffering rattlesnakes! What am I getting into?' murmured Biggles, a
ghost of a smile softening his face. 'First I'm sworn into the German
Air Force; now, of all things, I'm a full-blown Gestapo Agent.'
Biggles is on a reconnaissance mission in Norway when the Germans
invade without warning. If he can just get back to his plane he can
leave Norway quickly and safely, but his old enemy Von Stalhein has
heard that Biggles is in Norway, and he's determined to track him down...
Captain W. E. Johns was born in Hertfordshire in 1893. He flew with
the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War and made a daring escape
from a German prison camp in 1918. Between the wars he edited Flying and
Popular Flying and became a writer for the Ministry of Defence. The
First Biggles story, Biggles the Camels are Coming was published in
1932, and W. E. Johns went on to write a staggering 102 Biggles titles
before his death in 1968.
