Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic respectively. In the period 1938-1947
16 Biggles books were published by Toužimský & Moravec in Prague. In 1947
they issued the anthology Polnice, including an abridged version of "Biggles vzdoruje hákovému kríži" renamed as "Biggles učí létat". In 1968 once again
an abridged version of "Biggles od velbloudích stíhaček" was published and
in 1990, as paperback of poor "eastern Europe"-quality "Biggles á zlaté
dublony". They were followed by other reprints (one by Gennex publ.), now
laminated in full colour and often with nice illustrations, in cooperation
with Riopress publishers. Both company names are printed only the cover of
