What is Biggles 21 Biggles In the Baltic about?
As the momentous words "England is now, therefore, in a state of war with Germany" came sombrely over the radio, Biggles knows that they are all in for another spot of war flying. Almost immediately Air Commodore Raymond is in touch. He is back at his old job in Air Intelligence and has a proposal for Biggles. Britain has purchased from a neutral country a small island called Bergen Ait in the Baltic Sea, which has a huge cave inside. This has already been fitted out as an air base and fully stocked with supplies. Biggles, Algy and Ginger, together with Flight Sergeant Smyth, his son Roy (as wireless operator) and Raymond's old cook William Salt (known as 'Briny'), form 'Z' Squadron and are taken to the Baltic island by submarine. Their four aircraft are already there and are all given Australian names as they intend to strike and return like Boomerangs. Ginger's is called Dingo, Algy goes for Didgeree-du and Biggles calls his aircraft Willie-Willie. The fourth plane, a spare, is named the Duck-billed platypus. Various dangerous missions take place.
