58 years since Snoopy first
appeared as the WWI Flying Ace in a Peanuts strip published on October 10, 1965.
The WWI Flying Ace is perhaps Snoopy's most well-known persona. Schulz wrote and drew more than 400 strips featuring the Flying Ace across four decades, each one chronicling Snoopy's adventures hunting down the Red Baron. When not in the air, the Flying Ace is in the tavern quaffing root beer and trying to forget the charming French lasses who flit through his heart.
