One <strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> American fliers in various locations, matched by cowboy yarns
and the Hardy Boys. The setting (a forward airbase on "Coral Island") is immaterial to
the gung-ho adventure story and is signalled only briefly by mention <strong>of</strong> coconut in a
stew, frizzy-haired native labourers (also treacherous) and the delights <strong>of</strong> leave in
Honolulu. The island, through the usual <strong>literary</strong> confusions, supports a population <strong>of</strong>
spider monkeys.
