Johns, Capt W.E (William Earle) — Biggles and the Black Peril

Book Very Good 1st Edition Red Fox England 1st Redfox printing, faded spine. First postwar printing with the Germans restored in the text as the bad guys, Nice copy of what is quite a common title. The Redfox edition has an outstanding feature not found in any of the editions after World War 2 in that it uses the text almost unaltered from the original Printing by John Hamilton. Later printings by Thames and Dean & Son (1952-1985) had text which is considerably altered from the original including changing the bad guys to the Russians and removing the technical details of the German aircraft. If you haven't got the thousands to spend on a John Hamilton edition and you want as close to the original text as possible then this is the edition for you. Where possible small books will have postage reduced
