Me Too by Donald Jack
Despite designing his own amphibious aircraft, the Gander, ex-WWI ace Bartholomew Bandy is failing to make a fortune in his hometown. After flying bootleg liquor into the USA, being voted in as a local MP and spilling the beans on government corruption, Barts goose (or gander) is cooked, and the resulting mess can be summed up as whisky galore!'I enjoyed every word. . terrifically funny' P.G. Wodehouse
'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
