Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Second Impression. WORRALS ON THE WAR-PATH A Worrals of the W.A.A.F. Story. Captain W. E. Johns. Illustrated by Stead. Hodder & Stoughton, London 1943 Second Impression. 192pp Illustrated Hardback. This copy is bound in original light blue linen covered boards with black titling and decoration The…re is some light spotting to the boards but the text block is tight, bright, white and square. A dust wrapper is not present. Worrals is different. She may have been devised by Johns as a propaganda heroine to entice young girls into the forces during World War 2 but she quickly evolved into a distinct personality who, though she clearly shares some of the same ideals as Biggles, Algy, Ginger and Bertie, has her own remarkable view of the world. The extra dimension is that she is a woman in a world completely dominated by men. Moreover, these are men engaged in a desperate war of survival. From the very start she is the underdog, the one who must battle not just the various enemies that cross her path but also with the uncomprehending and preoccupied higher command on her own side. The modern adjective to describe her would be "feisty". For the first time W.E.Johns gives his Worrals story the "why are they there?" opening that he employs so often in the Biggles saga. In chapter one Worrals and Frecks are there in France, moreover in the heart of wartime France, and the story has to backtrack to the reasons for her latest mission. And the reason that the girls are there is a wild idea, so highly improbable that it could only have come from the mind of Worrals. "What you'll lose, my gal, if you go on playing with fire, is your life," snorted the CO "Did no one ever tell you that, when you were collecting all those medals on your chest ?" asked Worrals evenly. The CO bristled. "That's nothing to do with it. I'm a man." Ref BB6. Stead (illustrator).
