As a big Peanuts fan, I enjoyed how this book had many reoccuring details from the comics, and not just relating to the flying ace story line. Catch phrases like "Rats" and "I just can't stand it." Snowballs, football, jump rope, Snoopy's supper dish, Snoopy banging to come in to sleep in Charlie Brown's bed. One big mistake though: Why pay attention to all these details and then give Charlie Brown a red shirt?

I had one of our young patrons come up to the desk to return some books, he told me these three books were soo soo so good, and that I just had to read them. so I did. they were cute!!!!!

I smell a wet pilot. Really, I do!

You probably need go be familiar with Peanuts to get the subtleties here, but this was an awesome retelling of the many adventures of Snoopy, World War I flying ace, and how the Peanuts gang is effected. The language and tone are the same as Charles Schultz used. The artwork also mirrors, and doesn't try to simplify, Schultz's unique style.

The only problem is that Linus seems a bit out of character. I don't remember him ever being such a little shit. Other problem that didn't bother me but will bother diehard Peanuts fans -- Charlie Brown appears in a red, not yellow, shirt.

I found a special collector’s copy in the coolest consignment shop for a steal, and I loved the nostalgia and classic story of Snoopy’s alter ego, the World War I Flying Ace and his adventures. Most of Schultz’s kid characters are featured in the story, as well. You will enjoy it if you love Peanuts as much as I do! A classic treasure!

Lucy tells Snoopy he needs a job, but he is the world war I flying Ace. He attempts to take down the Red Baron. when he gets" shot down" he lands behind enemy lines. I loved the illustrations of Snoopy's imagination.

A cute rundown of Snoopy pretending to be the WW1 Flying Ace. It does feel as though it ends abruptly, even for such a simple book

My favorite Peanuts comics have always been about Snoopy the Flying Ace, so I picked this book up. It works well in a longer format of a comic strip, showing how Snoopy sees the world when he's being a flying ace versus the reality of what's going on. It also makes me laugh seeing how Charlie Brown and his friends react to Snoopy's antics. The art style matches the comics pretty well too.

To Peanuts fans all over the world, Snoopy IS tha dogg, especially when he plays as the WWI flying ace chasing the Red Baron. These adventures thrilled me as a kid and a lotta kdis will feel the same way with this book released from the late Charles Schulz' archives. Thru the vision of a new writer, Snoopy goes thru enemy lines, dodges bullets and still ends up in that damn doggy dish. Funny and a reminde of what fun it is for kids to play pretend.

Peanuts comic strips are classic favorites; who doesn't love Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and the gang. And this book focuses on Snoopy's WWI adventures, flying in combat against the Red Baron. It's a fun book to read aloud and passes the joy of the Peanut's characters to another generation.

This is one of those Snoopy books.
