  • Cover: G-8 and His Battle Aces, October 1937 (1937) • by Frederick Blakeslee
  • Notes:
    • Print-on-demand facsimile reprinting of the original G-8 WWI air war novel with some speculative elements from the October 1937 issue of the pulp magazine of the same name. The lead pulp novel is listed in the magazine as by G-8 as told to Robert J. Hogan.
    • This one-hundred and one page reprint of the one-hundred and twelve page edition includes the non-speculative air-war short stories "The Singing Deuce" (p 78) by Greaseball Joe, and "The Battling Buzzard" (90), both are by an uncredited Hogan.
    • 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.
    • The original pulp had, according to Galactic Central, 128 pages, this facsimile only contains 101 pages of the original pulp. However Fictionmag Index.com states that the original pulp had 112 pages. It is unknown if the missing pages were ads, features, or stories, or a combination of all three.
    • Reprints volume 13, number 1, whole number 49.
    • All illustrations, including those of the non-genre stories, are by John Fleming 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, these are not listed.
    • Back cover reprints a detail from the cover from the first issue of the G-8 pulp. The October 1933 issue.
    • 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, although Galactic Central sites Edythe Seims as the editor. This edited version of the pulp is presumably edited by John P. Gunnison, the publisher of Adventure House.
    • Listed as an collection as all the material within is written by Robert J. Hogan.
    • This is the first of two appearances of the mad Herr Goulon.
