Notes

William Earl Johns was an English aviator, editor, and author best remembered for his prolific adventure fiction. Trained as a pilot during the First World War, he served with the Royal Flying Corps and was later captured and imprisoned by German forces near the end of the war. Drawing on his firsthand flying experience, Johns went on to produce an extensive body of adventure literature that inspired generations of young readers.


James “Biggles” Bigglesworth, the daring pilot and central figure of Johns’s long-running adventure series, first appeared in print in 1932. Portrayed as courageous, resourceful, and honourable, Biggles embodies the virtues of the ideal airman—quick-thinking under pressure, loyal to his comrades, and guided by a strong moral code. 

Biggles In The Jungle is the 25th title in the series.
