'Biggles, the hero of a series of children's books by Captain W.E. Johns, was massively popular in the mid-twentieth century, with Australia being one of the major markets. In Australia there was also a radio serial that in the early 1950s, as well as a series of comics, at times with the same story available in three different modes. Many stories had a Cold War background, imparting important messages to an impressionable age group.' (Publication abstract)
