Biggles Final Novel; Biggles Does Some Homework
Captain W. E. Johns, Norman Wright, Jennifer SchofieldIt was on the 21st June 1968 at 8.30 a.m. that William Earl Johns (born 5th February 1893) stopped mid-sentence in order to make himself and his wife a cup of tea. He went upstairs to her and sat in his armchair and suffered a fatal heart attack and died immediately. He was 75 years old. So ended the saga of Biggles, first published in 1932 and last published in 1997. It is appropriate that Johns' final Biggles story should be published some 65 years after his first. Sixty-five is, of course, the normal retirement age for men and this was a story in which Biggles was facing retirement from the Special Air Police and recruiting fresh new blood to take his place.
The book was completed by Biggles Estate some years later
