Biggles Flies Again by W. E. Johns was first published in August, 1934 by John Hamilton. The book is a collection of short stories most of which had first appeared in Popular Flying from 1933 onwards. A change took place in the Thames Publishing Co editions which first came out circa 1950. The stories were edited and updated to make them more modern for a new generation of young readers. References to the First World War were changed to the Second World War. Aircraft names were replaced with those of newer types. 5 coloured plates and numerous black and white illustrations. Biggles with Algy and Smyth travel around the world in search of work and adventure. They begin with an aerial survey job in South America. Subsequent stories take them to the Pacific islands, then on to Asia and the Red Sea before they finally return to Britain.

I do not require immediate payment on Buy It Now listings. Ebay does not automatically calculate combined postage. I will do my best to save you some $$$! However, some items are just too big and fragile to be sent combined - please ask what options I can offer before bidding. Please request a combined invoice from me directly before paying, otherwise your items will be sent separately.  Please do not select Local Pickup to avoid paying postage costs if you wish to combine postage with another item already purchased - this will result in cancellation of your order.
