Si-Fi Book From The Fifties. Capt. W.h. John's Raf

[DryIce22]

Has anyone read any of the Captain W.H. John's books from the 1950's. Not the Biggles stories but about a boy lost on the Scottish grouse moors. The strange lights he saw through the dank mist being in the shape of a cross?
A mad professor, and his nephew also a flying saucer with adventures galore!!!

If you don't get an answer here then you could try going to the abebooks website and posting on their booksleuth forum.

Yes, I read "Kings of Space" and "Return to Mars" 60 years ago. I enjoyed them more than "Biggles".

woofgang - does the forum still exist on Abebooks? I couldn't find it ages ago when I was looking for help with a book.

I hadn't realised he write other stuff, not that I've looked.
I rather liked 'Biggles Flies Undone'. I think Biggles must have been around my age then.

thank you - one of my chores in our Oxfam bookshop is to value older/old books. Sometimes I can't find anything to help - will try and use the forum when we get back to normality.
