Some presumed printers’ errors have been corrected without mention,
including normalizing punctuation and minor spelling errors.
page 16 - probably publisher's error -
"After climbing steeply she leveled off to start down at the clearing" -
changed to "... stare down at ...."
page 49 - "near with the firebottle" changed to "near with the fire bottle"
page 59 and two other pages - “gage” is used where we would today use "gauge" -
left the word as is, it seems to be a slightly archaic spelling but is used consistently in the text
page 97 - "The pilot didn’t bale out"
left as is, instead of changing to "bail out" - some references indicated
that "bale out" is correct for "using a parachute to escape a plane"
page 169 - “The monkeys are sacred. Religion is a potent, force to these people”
comma after “potent” removed
page 182 - “You loose your two bucks. She’s a lady”
“loose” changed to “lose”
page 217 - “People who open secret cargos also”
“cargos” changed to “cargoes”
page 223 - removed extraneous comma after "some"
"...his tail controls until, slowly, like some, great, graceful bird..."
changed to "...his tail controls until, slowly, like some great, graceful bird..."
page 237 - “China, Great Britian, and America are to be there.”
changed “Britian” to “Britain”
page 242 - “we are not permitted to devulge secrets”
changed “devulge” to “divulge”
