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.

Donald Lamont Jack (1924-2003) was born in Radcliffe, England. He attended Marr College and later served in the Royal Air Force as an aircraftsman. After de-mobbing, he participated in amateur dramatics with The Ellis Players, and worked for several years in Britain before emigrating to Canada in 1951. In 1962 he published his first novel, Three Cheers for Me, about fictional Canadian First World War air-ace Bartholomew Wolfe Bandy. The book won the Leacock Medal for Humour in 1963. His second book, That’s Me in the Middle, won another Leacock Medal in 1974. He received a third award in 1980 for Me Bandy, You Cissie.
