Bøger i The Bandy Papers serien

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.

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. Soon he is once more heading for the hell of the trenches, this time on a bicycle. Donald Jack's blackly humorous Bandy memoirs are classics of their kind.

As usual the RAF top brass don't know what to do with loose cannon Major Bart Bandy. Bart reinvigorates the pilots of his new squadron, who start doing some serious flying in the notoriously tricky new Dolphin Camels. With black comedy and seat-of-the pants escapades, Donald Jack's series makes the War to End All Wars come roaring to life.

With the help of his girlfriend Cissie, and the hindrance of his girlfriend Dasha, Bartholomew Bandy smashes (literally) straight into the exciting new world of the movies. 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.

Promoted from the rank of Acting Temporary Captain in a Royal Flying Corps training squadron to that of very temporary Lieutenant-Colonel in the Air Ministry, ace pilot Bartholomew Wolfe Bandy blots his copybook with an ill-considered speech, flies to Ireland by mistake, and is sent back to the chaos of the Western Front as a lieutenant with the 13th Bicycle Battalion (also known as "Captain Craig and the Forty Thieves"). Reclaimed by the newly-hatched RAF that had just been born on April Fools' Day, Bandy -- now a major -- survives Irish gun-runners, Bolshevik spies, and his honeymoon with only minor injuries and major embarrassment. "That's Me in the Middle" won Jack the second of his three Leacock Medals for Humour.
