    • Reprints in facsimile the lead novel (by G-8 as told to Robert J. Hogan) and the non-genre air-war short story “The Nightshirt Patrol” (p 99) from the July 1936 issue of the G-8 pulp magazine. All fiction and features are written by 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.
    • Some issues have a blank page instead of a page 35. Text does not seem interrupted, may be a missing illustration.
    • Unnumbered pages are Adventure House advertisements and blank pages.
    • Volume 9, Number 2.
    • 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.
    • 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 editor of the pulp is uncredited. This edited version of the pulp is presumably edited by John Gunnison, the publisher of Adventure House.
