Description
'You're out last hope, Bigglesworth,' said the Air Commodore, with something like despair in his voice. The war supply route between Calcutta and China is a vital one but something is attacking the planes that fly it. Again and again pilots set off, only to disappear somewhere along the line, never to be seen again. When Biggles and his team are called in to investigatem, flying the route is close to a suicide mission . . .Tags

This is one of the better Biggles adventure/mystery novels I've read. As all the books it is short and easy to read. There are some issues with stereotypical descriptions and attitudes towards foreigners that I treat more as a sign of the time this was written than malice. There is also the ineptitude and stupidity of other people that makes it necessary to call in Biggles. If someone had had half a brain cell they would have figured it out and there wouldn't have been a book.
Aardig verhaal.
Op onverklaarbare wijze verdwijnen steeds meer vliegtuigen en piloten in India. Niemand weet waarom. Tot Biggles op komt dagen. Samen met zijn team lost hij het probleem op.
