Biggles is asked to set up a new air force! In the aftermath of the Great War, Biggles is contacted by an ambassador in London, alerting him to growing tensions between the small European nation of Maltovia and their sabre-rattling neighbour, Lovitzna. Maltovia needs help to create an air force to protect themselves, and Biggles is just the man for the job. After a menacing visit from the Lovitznian Minister in London, Biggles is convinced: he will offer Maltovia his services. Upon arriving there, however, Biggles quickly senses something isn’t right: the Commander-in-Chief of the Maltovian forces is strangely hostile, and Biggles’ aircraft hangar is set ablaze in mysterious circumstances. This is not the simple mission it was meant to be... With suspicions against both sides, can Biggles and his crew settle the conflict before tensions come to a head?

Synopsis Biggles Flies East by : W. E. Johns

Reissued with a stunning new cover, this is the perfect introduction to this bestselling series for new readers. Algy turned a trifle pale and shook his head. 'For God's sake be careful, ' he whispered tersely. 'They'll shoot you like a dog if they spot what you're doing.' While on leave Biggles is mistaken for someone else. He thinks little of it at the time, but when headquarters find out they ask him to take the place of his double and work for the Germans as a spy, while secretly reporting back to the British. It's a difficult task and there's a very high price to pay if he's spotted -- his life.
