Andy is a novel by Geoffrey Dutton, first published by Collins in 1968. Andy has one love that transcends all others flying; and one hate, authority. The former lands him in the Royal Australian Air Force, the latter more than once in a military prison. On balance it's worth it, to him and to us: never since St. Exupery has anyone so enjoyed the beauty and exhilaration of flying nor has anyone ever more enjoyed a party and the other fun and games that generally end up in trouble for Andy. He is a born leader, whether of the pious intellectual friend who worships him, or the born black marketeer who will do anything for him, even below cost. The climax is worthy of the hero-an adventure involving an enchanting refugee girl, a captured Japanese officer, an aeroplane, a volcano in eruption and a sort of Circe's island where the more violent human emotions find their expression and outlet. First Edition. Condition: Good with small bookshop sticker affixed to front free endpaper. Dust jacket: Fair with general shelf wear. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.
