Promoted from the rank of Acting Temporary Captain in a Royal Flying Corps training squadron to that of very temporary Lieutenant-Colonel in the Air Ministry, ace pilot Bartholomew Wolfe Bandy blots his copybook with an ill-considered speech, flies to Ireland by mistake, and is sent back to the chaos of the Western Front as a lieutenant with the 13th Bicycle Battalion (also known as "Captain Craig and the Forty Thieves"). Reclaimed by the newly-hatched RAF that had just been born on April Fools' Day, Bandy -- now a major -- survives Irish gun-runners, Bolshevik spies, and his honeymoon with only minor injuries and major embarrassment. "That's Me in the Middle" won Jack the second of his three Leacock Medals for Humour.

Reviews of The Bandy Papers Series
"Funny. Very. Donald Jack has as light a touch with this fragile art as his hero has on the throttle of a Sopwith Camel. Excessive corn is avoided in favour of wit and a delight in life." - New York Times
"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
"For those to whom Bandy is a newcomer, what a treat is in store." - Toronto Star
"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
"I enjoyed every word . . . terrifically funny." - P.G. Wodehouse
"A comical tour de force." -Montreal Gazette
"Outrageously funny." -Hamilton Spectator
"To write good comedy is hard, and yet, when it is of such a high standard as in these two volumes, it does not appear in the least difficult." -Quill & Quire
