Biggles Defends the Desert

LOST IN THE DESERT!

It's the Second World War and Biggles is in the desert, defending the vital air-route from the West coast of Africa to the Middle East. Urgent stores, dispatches and important officials and officers are regularly flown over this route, but lately a number of planes have unaccountably failed to arrive at their destinations. They've disappeared on route and Biggles is there to find out why - and stop it happening again.

Join cult hero and flying ace, Squadron Leader James Bigglesworth on another action packed adventure!
