Title: Biggles Hunts Big Game
Description: Hodder & Stoughton 1951 Hardback. There is a powerful international gang of counterfeiters at work, producing near-perfect forgeries of currency notes and postage stamps and causing havoc in the economies of many countries in Europe. Air Commodore Raymond is convinced that aircraft are involved and asks Biggles to investigate. However the enemy is well-informed and makes the first move to try to buy Biggles off just hours after Biggles is assigned to the case. Biggles' attention is drawn to an airline, Stellar Skyways, which organises expensive, ultra luxurious, big game hunting holidays. The trail takes Biggles and his friends to a remote hunting lodge in Central Africa. Biggles wins through, with friends old and new, ranging from his old squadron mate now taxi driver Tug Carrington to an Egyptian burglar. Biggles Hunts Big Game by W. E. Johns was first published in 1948 by Hodder and Stoughton. There have been 9 subsequent editions in the English language, with the most recent being the 1983 Armada paperback edition. The events in the book take place just after World War 2 in Africa. No dust jacket. Pen markings on second page. Fair.
