Before I stop I want to say this: If my adventures and amusements are going to cause you loss of sleep when they are over, you ain’t a-goin’ to hear no more. Please don’t let them disturb you.

[8] V.P. = _Vol Plané_.

[10] The Prince of Wales. [11] Reference to a humorously satirical caution against the use of the terms “’bus” or “plane” instead of “aeroplane” or “machine.” 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. Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been collected, resequenced, and moved to the end of the book. End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of War Flying, by L. F. Hutcheon
