"They had been buried months ago -- yet now they flew war skies, corpses that could not be killed! And for every resurrected Boche, a Yank died-- mysteriously, terribly. Who were these ghastly aces? How could G-8 and his buddies hope to fight a staffel recruited from the dead!"

G-8 was an heroic aviator and spy during World War I in pulp fiction. He started in his own title G-8 and His Battle Aces, published by Popular Publications. All stories were written by Robert J Hogan, under his own name. The title lasted 110 issues, from October, 1933 to June, 1944. Several of the novels have been reprinted by several publishers. There have also been a couple of comic books published with him.

While not as dramatic a character as Doc Savage or the Shadow, his stories were often outlandish, with many supernatural or science fiction elements. G-8's true identity was never revealed. His man servant was named Battle. His wing-men were Nippy Weston and Bull Martin. His adventures entailed fighting against the lethal super technology that was contantly created by the Kaiser's mad scientists .
