G-8 was a heroic aviator and spy during World War I. He starred in his own title G-8 and His Battle Aces. While not as dramatic a pulp 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. He had a girlfriend, a nurse who aided his group, and her name as well was never revealed. His English manservant was named Battle. His wing-men were the short Nippy Weston, who flew an aircraft numbered 13, and the tall and muscular but superstitious Bull Martin, whose aircraft was numbered 7. Both of them were Americans. His adventures entailed fighting against the lethal super technology that was constantly created by the Kaiser’s mad scientists. Reoccurring villains included Herr Doktor Krueger, the Steel Mask, and Grun, making deadly Bat-planes, dissolving gas, a chemical that changed skin color, an eagle-shaped balloon w/claws, plague spread by flying insects, a giant skeleton, undead German aces, an invisible plane, Panther-men, and a giant plane-eating spider.
