Biggles Sweeps the Desert by W. E. Johns was first published in Oct 1942 by Hodder and Stoughton. The title page of the 1st ed. gives the subtitle: “A ‘Biggles’ Squadron Story”. The events in the book take place around 1941 or 1942 in the North African desert.

Something or someone is interfering with the vital British air supply route between West Africa and Egypt. Aircraft have been disappearing with no explanation. Biggles and his squadron are sent to investigate.

‘Hopelessness took him in its grip. He knew he was wandering in circles but he had ceased to care. All he wanted to do was drink. His skin began to smart. His feet were on fire…’

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, 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.
