Biggles Delivers the Goods (Biggles, book 31) by Captain W E Johns
Biggles goes to Elephant Island with Li Chi and organises the building of a wooden runway over the lake, painted blue to disguise it from the air. This is so that supply planes can fly the rubber back to India and Biggles' squadron will fly the planes. Biggles organises a trip to Shansie to meet the reclusive Major Marling and obtain further supplies of rubber. He arrives just as the Japanese attack Marling's home and he helps to fight them off.
Biggles Delivers the Goods
Stealing the Japanese River patrol boat for the return journey, Biggles plans to seize a ship from the Japanese to help transport the rubber, which he later does. Meanwhile, the Japanese plan to attack the base on Elephant Island having been made aware of it by their spies. Japanese destroyers are brought into the Japanese harbour at the mouth of the river. Biggles and Ginger fly up river and blow the banks to flood the surrounding landscape, where the Japanese have an aerodrome.
