G-8 And His Battle Aces

Reprinting the entire story "The Spider Staffel" from G-8 and His Battle Aces (October 1934), in facsimile format. "Be Warned! Each night with the setting of the sun the giant Tarantula spider will spin his web across the Front. If you send your ships out tonight -- he will eat them!" H. Q. scoffed at this warning. But G-8 saw it carried out, saw four Yanks planes devoured by the most ghastly creature that ever stalked the skies. What was this new horror? How could Yank bombers hope to get past its net of death?
