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.

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.
