Description:
In the original dust sheet. Red cloth binding with black titles on the spine and on the front board.James Bigglesworth, nicknamed "Biggles", is a fictional pilot and adventurer, the title character and hero of the Biggles series of adventure books, written for young readers by W. E. Johns (1893–1968). Biggles made his first appearance in the story The White Fokker, published in the first issue of Popular Flying magazine and again as part of the first collection of Biggles stories, The Camels Are Coming (both 1932). Johns continued to write "Biggles books" until his death in 1968. The series eventually included nearly a hundred volumes – novels as well as short story collections – most of the latter with a common setting and time.

Description:
Hodder and Stoughton, 1956. Hardcover in Dustjacket. Very Good +. Edgewear to jacket.. 1956 reprint of 1955 edition.(Even though it has the higher number of 44 on the spine, it was in fact Biggles in Australia that was the first Biggles book to be numbered â Biggles in Australia was published on 31st March 1955 whereas Biggles Chinese Puzzle, numbered 43, was published later, on 9th May 1955.  They must have been allocated numbers in advance.)A picture of Erich von Stalhein in an Australian paper is the clue that starts this adventure. Von Stalhein was rescued with others after apparently being shipwrecked. Biggles flies to Australia to investigate exactly what von Stalhein was up to. Searching the islands and atolls of northwest Australia, Biggles and Ginger settle on a lagoon for the night. Here a giant squid attacks their seaplane and this is the picture that is on the dust cover of the book. Eventually, they find the island where the shipwreck happened. They also find a…
