G-8 and His Battle Aces #12 Audiobook

The Panther Squadron

by Robert J. Hogan

Read by Nick Santa Maria

They called G-8 the Flying Spy. History never recorded his exploits—and for good reason! No one would ever believe World War I was that wild!

For days all had been quiet on the enemy front. Then a dying American spy broke through the lines to gasp out a strange message — “Women being tortured... Black Forest... Hear screams every night... Stop them!” Puzzled, G-8 set out to follow this strange clue, never guessing he was hurtling into combat with Germany’s most ghastly staffel — a sky squadron of man-beasts!

If it hadn’t been for a $65.00 check, America’s Master Spy may never have landed in pulp magazines. Working in the fledgling aviation industry of the early 20th Century, Robert J. Hogan found himself basically unemployed after the Stock Market Crash of 1929. Aviation, along with many other markets, took a major hit that October and left Hogan desperate to make money. Legend has it that one day Hogan was reading a magazine, one focused on aviation stories, and declared rather excitedly that he could write better than the authors he’d been reading. Soon, he set out to prove that, writing and submitting a story to Wings Magazine, one which the magazine bought. With a $65.00 dollar check in hand, Robert J. Hogan changed jobs and a pulp legend was soon born.

Even though G-8 took on monstrous foes and nightmarish conspiracies, Hogan’s experience as a pilot informed the stories as well. Readers found a touch of authenticity in Hogan’s work as well as a loving attention to the experience of flight. This, along with Hogan’s nightmarish imagination, adds to the fascination fans have had for decades with G-8.

Nick Santa Maria brings G-8, Nippy and Bull to thrilling life in their desperate struggle to defeat a deadly nemesis unlike anything they have ever before encountered in ‘The Panther Squadron’. Originally published in the September 1934 issue of G-8 and His Battle Aces magazine.

Nick DeGregorio composed the music for the G-8 and His Battle Aces series of audiobooks.

As Usual this product G-8 was excellent in both product quality and substance. I have been a Radio Archives costumer for years and find it to be the best of similar businesses. The staff is the most friendly and helpful of any service I have used.
