The book maintains its structural integrity with a secure, firm binding, and there are no major flaws such as tears to the pages or cloth. It does, however, show signs of careful use, handling, and storage over the decades; the page block edges exhibit noticeable toning, and light foxing is present throughout the preliminary pages and endpapers. The original dust jacket remains fully intact beneath a protective clear sleeve, though small chips and short tears are present at the spine ends and corners, accompanied by faint spotting to the rear panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a 1952 Oxford University Press reprint of Captain W.

What begins as a straightforward commercial flying contract rapidly spirals into a deadly game of survival when the trio runs foul of a ruthless local villain named McBain. Framed for murder and battling both the extreme elements and hostile locals, Biggles must use every ounce of his cunning and aerial mastery to clear their names, protect a valuable gold claim, and ensure justice is served in the unforgiving northern wilderness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54333045702995,"sku":"4355","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260616_130354.jpg?v=1784271277","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/biggles-in-spain-captain-w-e-johns-1951-reprint-copy","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
