The World War I Flying Ace is one of the many fantasy alternate identities that Snoopy adopted during the fifty-year run of the Peanuts comic strip. And would be one of Snoopy’s most popular and enduring alter egos. The millions of readers of the Peanuts comic strip first encountered Snoopy as the First World War Flying Ace in 1965, when Charles Schulz drew the lovable beagle pretending his doghouse was a Sopwith Camel biplane. Dressed in scarf and goggles, Snoopy imagined that he flew in hot pursuit of the Red Baron. Snoopy continued to appear as the Ace in the Peanuts comic strip until Schulz retired in 1999. Images of the First World War Flying Ace would accompany astronauts on the Apollo 10 mission of 1969 and form the subject of a standing exhibit at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and become a U.S. postage stamp. The winning Steiff interpretation of Snoopy super flying hero is certain to find fame will you all.
