Biggles flies again into adventure in the far places of the earth. Stranded among the tropical swamps of British Guiana when the company employing him as a pilot folds up, he takes possession of the amphibian aircraft he is flying and proceeds to earn his living by undertaking dangerous missions by air.

With Algy and Smyth, he searches for treasure in the jungle, captures a brigand-chief in his own mountain stronghold, leads a pearling expedition into a fantastic reef-bound lagoon, shanghais a Russian agent on an Arabian island, and trades pearls with a desert sheikh on the Red Sea coast.

Biggles thrives on thrills, and his courage and resourcefulness are equal to the many dangerous emergencies that arise in his quest for excitement.

The author was himself a pioneer fighter-pilot, and his own experiences of war in the air have enabled him to infuse into the stories a realism that brings the background and drama of the time into vivid focus."
