WORRALS! Isn't she great! Johns is so good at taking all the thrilling adventure tropes and giving them lock stock and barrel to Worrals and Frecks.
And that is a very random selection of Biggles books! Of that list, there's Learns to Fly which I adore, and Camel Squadron which will be fun WW1 adventures, and In the Orient which as the title suggests is a bit heavier on the period-typical attitudes, but it's a really good WW2 mystery adventure with tons of h/c, I would recommend it warts and all. The only one on that list which is slashy is In the Blue, which is extremely slashy but also reads as if Johns decided he was going to try to get every possible racist stereotype he could think of into it, so.
