G-8 and His Battle Aces #20 Audiobook

The Gorilla Staffel

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!

“You cannot kill me,” the spy shouted. “Your execution squad has just shot me, yet here I stand, as much alive as ever. There are many more like me in Germany. Bullets cannot kill them!” And G-8, listening, knew this strange man spoke the truth — in part at least. All up and down the Front that terrible news spread. For a strange staffel had taken to war skies — a staffel of pilots who could not be killed. Bullets went into them — through them; they only laughed and fought on. Horror gripped the Allies as three Yanks set out, pledged to pit fighting wings against invincible aces! How could G-8 and his aces dare hope to conquer an enemy that could not die?

From its debut in 1933, G-8 and His Battle Aces was a success, finding fans especially with children and teenagers. Originally just writing these fantastical aviation yarns to feed himself, author Robert J. Hogan found himself a successful author, thanks to America’s Master Spy. Penning a full length adventure monthly, Hogan was one of the top earning pulp authors at the height of G-8’s popularity, making as much as $1000.00 a tale. He wrote other pulp tales too, westerns and the like, even creating another series character, The Mysterious Wu Fang. Eventually leaving pulps to write western novels and for the Saturday Evening Post, Hogan was known to comment that the one character that fans talked to him about more than any other until his death was a pilot, like himself, yet different than anyone who’d flown before him, 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 Gorilla Staffel’. Originally published in the May 1935 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.
