Default Question and maybe a brag

A few weeks ago I picked up a nice copy of Helen MacInnes "Above Suspicion"
at a flea market for $2. Recently I learned that it was her first book and
looking at it more closely I am wondering if it is a First American Edition.
Little, Brown and Company, Boston, 1942 on title page. Copyright 1941 ,
Helen Highet and date code CL on copyright page. Dustjacket has a great
photo of MacInnes on back and beveled corners. Any information would be
appreciated.

Since 1940 generally says "First Edition" or "First Printing", but check
your Ahearns' if you have one. They have a listing by publisher at the
front of their book.
