- Notes:
- Print-on-demand facsimile reprinting of the original June 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 "Brass Buttons and Dynamite" (p 79) and "The Flying Canaries" (86) both 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. However, the letters section seems edited as the letter on page 98 just stops, and there is a listing of the past issues of G-8 on the next page (99) that seems to have no connection to the previous letter.
- According to Galactic Central, the original pulp had a hundred and twenty-eight pages.
- Volume 12 Number 1.
- 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.
- Page twenty-six does not exist. Twenty-six is actually a reprint of page twenty-eight.
- The original editor of the pulp is uncredited, although Galactic Central lists it as having been edited by Edythe Seims. This edited version of the pulp is presumably edited by John Gunnison, the publisher of Adventure House.
- The original pulp cost $0.10, this facsimile costs $10.95 in Canada.
