It is 1925 and First World War air ace Bartholomew Bandy has finally found a secure post-war job, as commander of the Maharajah of Jhamjarh's new air force. The only problem is that the British Raj is not so happy with him for setting up a rival air power inside British India, and he may need to actually earn his fabulous salary when a neighbouring princely state shows signs of preparing for war...
