Biggles Foreign Legionnaire by W E Johns
Biggles and Ginger join the Foreign Legion as part of an undercover operation for the International Police Commission. Their brief is to expose the workings of a sinister organisation sabotaging all peaceful settlements achieved by war-faring nations. Biggles takes his life into his own hands by joining one of the most toughest military forces in the world when he realises the price of global peace is at stake.
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.
