Yep, I had several Biggles books.
I say 'I had', because only last year I gave them away to a friend who collects them.

They were in English, not Dutch, because I like the style in which they were written, and translations never catch the atmosphere of the original.

There was Biggles Takes It Rough, Biggles and the Black Raiders, Biggles Hits the Trail and Biggles in Spain to mention a few.

Some books were from the 1930's which I bought for a buck or two on a flea-market.

If I had known this earlier I would have been glad to send them to you, Liz.
