Me Too

Volume V of the Bandy Papers

By: Donald Jack

Narrated by: Robin Gabrielli

Despite designing his own amphibious aircraft, the Gander - a machine almost as alarming-looking as its horse-faced maker - ex-WWI ace Bartholomew Bandy is failing to make a fortune in his hometown of Gallop.

The only work he finds is flying bootleg liquor into the USA. In desperation (what else?), he stands as a local MP and in desperation (why else?), they vote him in. But after spilling the beans on a bunch of government members indulging in Prohibition corruption, Bart’s soon cordially hated by everyone up to the Prime Minister - can he really be naïve enough to believe party propaganda that the people must be told the truth?

So Bart’s goose - or gander - is cooked, and the resulting mess can be summed up as whisky galore!

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.

“I enjoyed every word . . . terrifically funny.” (P.G. Wodehouse)

“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)
