Reporting the encounter to Air Staff Intelligence, Biggles is encouraged to seize the opportunity and find out all he can about a German known only as El Shereef, operating somewhere in Palestine...
Biggles soon finds himself in Zabala, a German aerodrome in Palestine, reporting to Count von Faubourg of the German Secret Service and his chief of staff, one Erich von Stalhein – the first appearance of Biggles’ greatest nemesis. As Biggles draws closer to unmasking El Shereef, at all times he must ensure his own identity is never revealed, or he will be shot as a spy.
