Publisher Description
“I enjoyed every word . . . terrifically funny.” P.G. Wodehouse
Strangely horse-faced World War I flying ace Bart Bandy finds himself kicked upstairs – to everyone’s appalled surprise – and made a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Royal Flying Corps.
But not for long. Persuaded to give a school speech on the many shortcomings of Field Marshal Haig, he finds Fortune’s Wheel definitely on the turn and soon he is once more heading for the hell of the trenches – this time on a bicycle.
With the daredevil commander of the 13th Bicycle Brigade, Bob Craig, there follow a series of edge-of-the-seat adventures, always accompanied by what Craig later refers to fondly as “brilliant exchanges of utter nonsense”.
Donald Jack’s blackly humorous Bandy memoirs are classics of their kind. Against an unshrinkingly depicted backdrop of war and its horrors, his anti-hero’s adventures are both gripping and shockingly funny.
Customer Reviews
The Bandy Papers series by Donald Jack
Utterly brilliant in their conception and hilariously funny to read; you should buy them all together, then start at the beginning and don’t stop until you get to the end! Don’t be put off by the war and the aeroplanes, they are just the background against which the comedy unfolds; EVERYONE, male, female, young or old can and should read these wonderful, life-affirming stories. I cannot recommend them enough, you will be in stitches with tears of laughter rolling down your cheeks!
