LA Bantam - Strangers In Flight

I was fortunate recently to buy one of the nine books with a very uncommon illustrated cover published by Bantam Publications of Los Angeles. Their 28th book is Mignon G. Eberhart's Strangers In Flight.

In common with all but one of LA Bantam's books Strangers In Flight is 100 pages long and is 110 mm (4 5/16") wide by 152 mm (6") tall. Cover and pages are made from high acid pulp paper. The page collation is:

[1] title page,
[2] copyright page,
3-100 Strangers In Flight.

The book has a 1940 copyright date and states that the story was published in the November, 1940 McCall's Magazine. The back cover lists books 21 through 27.

In common with most LA Bantams there are variant covers. In addition to the illustrated version shown below there are strong yellowish green/light blue and strong yellowish green/light orange yellow text only versions.
