  • Notes:
    • Print-on-demand facsimile reprinting of the original May 1937 issue of the pulp magazine. The lead pulp novel is listed in the magazine as by G-8 as told to Robert J. Hogan, and includes the non-genre air-war short story "Flying Stepmother" (p 98) by Greaseball Joe (who is also Hogan), and "The Glory Buzzard" by an uncredited Hogan (90).
    • All G-8 reprints in this series from Adventure House are reprinted in order of their original publication.
    • "G-8 Speaks" is a letter section, and it usually opens with a short introductory essay by G-8 (Robert J. Hogan) and then goes on to print some G-8 fan letters. However, while it is listed on this facsimile's contents page, it is not reprinted this time in this magazine.
    • It is unknown how many pages the original pulp had, this facsimile stops, possibly, at page 105 of the pulp. The last page is unnumbered. The non-reprinted "G-8 Speaks" was supposed to start at page 110.
    • Volume 11 Number 4.
    • The front cover of the facsimile has been restored from the original.
    • All illustrations, including those of the non-genre stories, are by John Fleming Gould. The reprint published miscredits them to "John Flemming Gould".
    • Contains many spot illustrations and character portraits that are either filler and drift from one issue to another, or are cropped from the larger full-page illustrations.
    • The original G-8 and His Battle Aces pulp magazine was published by Popular Publications, now Argosy Communications.
    • The original editor of the pulp is uncredited. This edited version of the pulp is presumably edited by John Gunnison, the publisher of Adventure House.
    • Listed as an anthology as it is unknown how much this facsimile reprint has been edited.
    • Page thirty-five has a full-page advertisement for Adventure House pulp auctions. It is unclear if this ad replaced a piece of artwork or a page of ads from the original pulp.
    • This is the second of eight appearances of the villainous Chu Lung.
    • The original pulp cost $0.10, this facsimile costs $10.95 in Canada.
