Transcriber's Notes:
Varied hyphenation on plane names was retained. Frequently, the commas in the original text were moved up half-way to land at the middle of the line instead of the bottom of the line. These were all moved down. The text spaces abbreviations in the text (h. p.) and removes the spaces in the footnotes. (h.p.)
Page v, "Shafer" changed to "Schäfer". Word "the" also added to match actual title of chapter. (Schäfer Lands Between the Lines)
Page vii, "Shafer" changed to "Schäfer" (Lieut. Schäfer Speaking With)
Page 5, "Feldfliegartruppen" changed to "Feldfliegertruppen" (the German Feldfliegertruppen)
