JOHNS, Captain W.E.

Biggles defies the Swastika

London, Oxford University Press, 1945 [second impression]/ [1941].

Octavo, 250 (last page blank), [6] (publisher's advertisements) pages with 6 full-page illustrations plus a colour frontispiece ('Illustrated by Howard Leigh and Alfred Sindall').

Pictorial tan cloth (with a thin light production flaw running across the middle of the cloth); edges foxed; pages 7-16 a little marked (akin to marginal foxing, with minimal impact on the text - and again, possibly a production flaw); notwithstanding, an excellent copy with the price-clipped dustwrapper showing light signs of wear (confined mainly to the ends of the spine).
