Biggles of the Camel Squadron (1956, ?) By Captain W.E. Johns
 
Biggles of the Camel Squadron was first published in March 1934 by John Hamilton. It was the third ever Biggles book, although by this time Johns had also published two other books: Mossyface in 1922 and The Spy Flyers (1933). After 3 John Hamilton editions Camel Squadron was brought out again in 1938 by the Boys' Friend Library with the potentially confusing title of Biggles Goes to War, around the same time as when OUP was bringing out the actual Biggles Goes to War!
 
The Thames and Dean and Son editions of the 1950s - 1980s restored the original title. Red Fox published a new edition of the book in 1992 under the title Biggles of the Fighter Squadron. The motivation behind this change is unknown but it was perhaps to avoid unwary readers thinking it was about a cavalry officer in the Camel Corps?
