Author Description
“Ghosts! Ha-ha-ha-ha — there ain’t no such thing!” From the wreck of a crashed D.H. came those strange words — words spoken with mad laughter by a dying Yank. What had he seen in German skies that had turned him insane with fright? Had a “ghost” wiped out the rest of his patrol? Grimly G-8 and his buddies seek the answer down a haunted cloud trail. G-8 and his Battle Aces rode the nostalgia boom ten years after World War I ended. These high-flying exploits were tall tales of a World War that might have been, featuring monster bats, German zombies, wolf-men, harpies, Martians, and even tentacled floating monsters.
