- Print-on-demand facsimile reprinting of the original G-8 WWI air war novel with some speculative elements from the July 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, and includes the non-speculative air-war short stories "Flying Crackers" (p 79), "Some Guys are Too Tough (88)", and the article "The World in Flames (97) all 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 106 pages of the original pulp. It is unknown if the missing pages were ads, features, or stories, or a combination of all three.
- Reprints volume 12, Number 2.
- All illustrations, including those of the non-genre stories, are by John Fleming Gould. The publisher miscredits them to "John Flemming Gould".

- The original G-8 and His Battle Aces pulp magazine was published by Popular Publications, now Argosy Communications.
