For fans of Flashman or Derek Robinson - and a favourite of P.G. Wodehouse. So all is pretty cushy for our reluctant hero, ex-WWI ace pilot Bart Bandy. Actually that should read pretty Khooshie, the name of the handsome young prince of Jhamjarh, whose life Bart recently saved. His reward from the grateful Maharajah is to set up an airforce for the independent state, while living high on the hog in his own personal palace. But it’s 1925 and the British authorities are already highly suspicious about the purpose of this new force when Bart, as usual, falls foul of a most important personage, the Viceroy of India no less. Could end badly. Not nearly as badly as the intentions of the neighboring Indian state of Khaliwar though, as Bart soon discovers
but absolutely no one seems inclined to believe him. 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.
