Somehow, despite his advancing years and receding hairline, veteran airman Bart Bandy has plummeted through the ranks and got himself back in the air he s given command of an RAF squadron in Normandy, shortly after D-Day. The Germans are on the run but not yet beat, and Bart soon has a very close encounter with notorious Luftwaffe ace Willy Strand. Then the war does end and after a strange meeting with an enigmatic fellow called Kim Philby, Bart is invited to Yalta, with the august party that contains Churchill, Roosevelt, and Josef Stalin of course. But something s troubling him wasn t Uncle Joe really pretty keen on rubbing out our old friend, once upon a time? Exciting dogfights, beautiful Russian spies, and a seat-of-the-pants finale make a terrific last adventure for Donald Jack s maverick hero sharper, blacker and funnier than ever. What people are saying about The Bandy Papers: Reading can lead to involuntary bursts of loud laughter . Very descriptive, full of air combats and written with a fine eye for period detail . . . there is quite simply no finer book of its kind . Highly recommended. It is clear that Bandy likely should've been killed several times, but very likely the Grim Reaper was laughing too hard to hold his scythe straight . . . Hysterically funny! . . . each book is another installment in the continuing saga of a Canadian and his adventures in war, the world, and women. I have yet to find another author with the wit and humor of Donald Jack. Editorial reviews: Jack does more than play it for laughs . . . The mingling of humor and horror is like a clown tap-dancing on a coffin, but Jack is skillful enough to get away with it. Time Magazine Funny. Very. Donald Jack has as light a touch with this fragile art as his hero has on throttle of a Sopwith Camel. Excessive corn is avoided in favour of wit and a delight in life . New York Times Bartholomew Bandy is the most remarkable hero (or anti-hero) since Harold Lloyd impersonated the Freshman. Chicago Tribune To know Bandy is to love him . . . you tend to gallop through and come hurtling out at the end panting for more . The Sunday Sun For those to whom Bandy is a newcomer, what a treat is in store . Toronto Star
