This One’s on Me

For fans of Flashman or Derek Robinson - and a favourite of P.G. Wodehouse. It’s 1924 and our hero has made the USA too hot for him, thanks to his part in the Great Booze Robbery and his havoc-creating spell as an MP. Exile is urgently advisable.
In his only asset, a giant seaplane, Bandy sets off for Europe. His arrival in England makes a great splash
literally
as he lands in the Channel to rescue a downed pilot. But his fortunes are restored when the rescued pilot proves to be the son of the Maharajah of Jhamjarh, an Indian potentate and The Second Richest Man in the World. How Bandy creates an air force for the Indian state and becomes involved in working with Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald against the Chief of Air Staff is the stuff of Bandy’s stranger-than-fiction memoirs. 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. AUTHOR: Donald Jack served in the RAF from 1943-1947 before moving to Canada in 1951. He won Canada’s Leacock Medal for humorous fiction three times, for volumes in The Bandy Papers series.
