As usual the RAF top brass don't know what to do with maverick
flying ace and well-known loose cannon Major Bartholomew Bandy.
They pack him off to a squadron where everything's as smart as
paint and the flying record barely registers, thinking it'll keep
him out of their hair. But after a shaky start Bart gets a firm
grip on things - one of those things being the adjutant, who
jealously guards his own private and baroquely magnificent WC. With
old pal Dick Milestone, Bart reinvigorates the superbly turned out
but demoralized pilots, who start doing some serious flying and
very serious damage to the enemy, in the notoriously tricky new
Dolphin Camels. With the blackest of black comedy and seat-of-the
pants escapades, Donald Jack's series about a young pilot makes the
War to End All Wars come roaring to life. What people are saying
about The Bandy Papers: "Reading can lead to involuntary bursts of
loud laughter." "Very descriptive, full of air combats and written
with a fine eye for period detail . . . there is quite simply no
finer book of its kind. Highly recommended." "It is clear that
Bandy likely should've been killed several times, but very likely
the Grim Reaper was laughing too hard to hold his scythe straight .
. ." "Hysterically funny! . . . each book is another installment in
the continuing saga of a Canadian and his adventures in war, the
world, and women." "I have yet to find another author with the wit
and humor of Donald Jack." Editorial reviews: "I enjoyed every word
. . . terrifically funny." P.G. Wodehouse "Jack does more than play
it for laughs . . . The mingling of humor and horror is like a
clown tap-dancing on a coffin, but Jack is skillful enough to get
away with it." Time Magazine "Funny. Very. Donald Jack has as light
a touch with this fragile art as his hero has on throttle of a
Sopwith Camel. Excessive corn is avoided in favour of wit and a
delight in life." New York Times "Bartholomew Bandy is the most
remarkable hero (or anti-hero) since Harold Lloyd impersonated the
Freshman." Chicago Tribune "To know Bandy is to love him . . . you
tend to gallop through and come hurtling out at the end panting for
more." The Sunday Sun "For those to whom Bandy is a newcomer, what
a treat is in store." Toronto Star
