Three Cheers for Me
Book description
"I enjoyed every word . . . terrifically funny." P.G. Wodehouse

Why read it?
1 author picked Three Cheers for Me as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The first in the Bandy Papers series, and the best. Jack was a Canadian who served in the air force and managed the difficult task of providing a comedy about flying in WW1 with, once again, realistic, and well-researched flying scenes. This book is a comedic tour de force, wringing belly laughs from war without belittling the surrounding terror and angst. It won several Canadian comedy awards, and you can understand why. It made me laugh so hard in places, that it hurt. But I repeat, the flying scenes are first-rate, and the characters are a hoot as they blunder…
From Iain's list on WW1 flying that takes you into the skies.
