Johns, Captain W.E
191 pages, illustrated . The shelf-soiled cover is chipped at the edges, the spine's edge is lightly frayed and there is agift inscription on the front end paper. The body of the book is clean, unmarked and solid. A very good copy in good only boards, but very obviously second hand. Second impression. "Flight Officer Joan Worralson, better known as "Worrals", is a fictional character created by W. E. Johns, more famous for his series of books about the airman Biggles. Worrals was a member of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) in the Second World War. She has a sidekick called Betty "Frecks" Lovell. Johns modelled Worrals on two female aviators of his acquaintance, Amy Johnson - whom he knew as "Johnnie" Mollison, from which Worrals' name is presumed to derive - and Pauline Gower.The first six books were written and set during the Second World War; the remainder mainly in places remote or exotic to European readers. The Worrals series was very successful in the UK (published by the Lutterworth Press) and France (Presses de la Cité) and translated into several other languages. Most titles included line illustrations by the British artist Leslie Stead. (Wikipedia) " Worrals on the War Path" is the fourth in the series.
