Captain W.E. Johns - Czech Republic

"Kapitán W.E. Johns" was published and is still being published in 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 the books T&M 1 to 5. Books are not all equal In size.

Three covers of Czech Biggles-books.

In 1995 the first Worrals title (Worrals z W.A.A.F.) was issued by Navrát in Brno.
In 1998 the first (Miklo) Biggles comic was published by T&M.
