- Notes:
- Reprints in facsimile the lead novel (by G-8 as told to Robert J. Hogan) and the non-genre air-war short story “The Police Patrol” (p 91) from the October 1936 issue of the G-8 pulp magazine. All fiction and features are written by Hogan. That is why this is listed as a collection. It is unknown how much the original pulp was edited for this reprinting.
- Original editor is unknown, this reprinting is probably edited by publisher John Gunnison.
- All G-8 reprints in this series from Adventure House are usually reprinted in order of their original publication, however this time Adventure House switches the thirty-seventh G-8 novel with the thirty-sixth novel.
- ”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.
- This novel contains the first appearance of continuing villain of Chu Lung.
- Volume 10, Number 1.
- 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 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.
