The escort fell in on either side of the prisoners, and at a word of command the party moved forward. Down the corridor it marched, and through an open door into a grim-looking courtyard. Across this it proceeded, and came to a halt against a wall on the far side.-Biggles glanced at the sky. It was just turning pink with the first flush of dawn. 'If Ginger is going to do the rescue act, he hasn't got much time left.' He observed calmly.-Algy said nothing. His face was pale. In the uneasy atmosphere of Europe between the two World Wars, Biggles, Algy and Ginger are persuaded to defend a small middle European country from an aggressive neighbour backed up by an unnamed Big Power.

In this book a representative from an eastern European state contacts Biggles asking him to set up an minimal airforce because a neighbouring state has started moving aggressively. It could be modeled on a Baltic state since this is before they were occupied by Russia. He's reluctant but when someone tells him not to go... well, if you know Biggles books you know the rest.
I think this is one of the better books in the Biggles library. That doesn't mean it's great, but sometimes you don't need a great book, just a simple book. ( )
