“Biggles becomes suspicious when he learns that an ex-R.A.F. officer, with a questionable reputation in the service, is operating an Air Charter Company, making regular flights to Switzerland and the south of France for the Tourist Industry.  Investigations by Biggles, Bertie and Ginger, uncover the existence of an International Criminal Network controlled by a shadowy figure known to his operatives as ‘The Black Mask’.  Who is this man who never reveals his face?”
