Biggles and the Black Peril (? Date) By Captain W.E. Johns
 
The Black Peril by W. E. Johns was first published in March 1936 by John Hamilton. Around the same time, it was also serialised in 10 parts in Modern Boy from issue #366 to #375 Feb to Apr 1935 under the title "Winged Menace". There have been at least 12 subsequent editions in the English language. From the mid-1950s, the editions generally carried the revised title "Biggles and the Black Peril". Like The Cruise of the Condor and Biggles Flies Again, major editorial changes were made to the postwar editions in an attempt to modernize the setting.
 
The events in the book take place in England and then on the Baltic coast from Germany to Russia. The book is notable for being the story where Biggles and Algy first meet Ginger.
