Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Some abbreviations, such as “SAR”, usually, but not always, are italicized in the original book and in this eBook.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. In versions of this eBook that support hyperlinks, the page references in the List of Illustrations lead to the corresponding illustrations.

Some dates, particularly the years, in the original book may be typographical errors, e.g., “29 Oct 40” instead of “29 Oct 50”. They are unchanged here.

In the Table of Contents, Transcriber added a link to the Index.

The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. References to non-existent pages are not linked, but there probably are incorrect links to pages that do exist. Spelling discrepancies between Index entries and the referenced text were resolved in favor of the referenced text.

[Page 55]: “and face enemy” was printed as “and fact enemy”.

[Page 221]: The chapter sub-heading originally was printed below the chapter summary. Here, it is shown above that summary, so as to be consistent with the sequence in other chapters.

[Page 395]: “(to 2 0Nov)” was misprinted that way.
