Peace has broken out and World War I flying ace and all-round
chancer Bartholomew Bandy isn't exactly making a success of being a
commercial pilot in the USA. But when a job lot of aircraft bits
purchased with the last of his pay turns out to be a complete
Vickers Vimy bomber, he feels his luck has changed. With the help
of his very tall, very sweet girlfriend Cissie, and the hindrance
of his very short, very bad and beautiful girlfriend Dasha, Bart
smashes (literally) straight into the exciting new world of the
movies. Not an ideal career for someone whose face, as he says
himself, resembles that of a Tibetan yak, but then absolutely
nothing about Bart is ideal. With the blackest of black comedy and
seat-of-the pants escapades, Donald Jack's series about a young
pilot is uniquely funny and compelling. 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
