Flying Ace Snoopy Doll, 1966-1970

Summary

Snoopy was just an ordinary dog when the "Peanuts" comic strip started in 1950. But that didn't last for long. He soon began walking on two legs, showing a rebellious streak, and daydreaming about being a World War I Flying Ace fighting the evil Red Baron. This 1966 "Peanuts Pocket Doll" is based on this, his favorite fantasy.
