I just received an email from Abe Books promoting a series of books about a pilot named Biggles: from what I can tell, the promotion is for April Fool's Day, but the books look real and hilarious! I looked him up on Wikipedia suspecting that there must be some racism, and sure enough, although Biggles tries to be decent to all men, he does encounter some stereotypical savages. Some of my favorite titles:
The Camels are Coming
Biggles Defies the Swastika
Biggles Presses On
Unfortunately, Biggles never meets Mr. Tutt, another manly character from a series of books written for decent lawyers who enjoy a good novel.

Tutt is my hero.
