In all the times I've viewed it Rod I never noticed any "repeats" although I'm sure they were in there: I was too captivated by Snoopy's (imaginary?) battle. Taking off, flying through flak bursts, whirling and looping to engage the Red Baron, being shot down (and saluting his foe on the way), his crash and then his escape through enemy lines to emerge as . . . . . The Great Pumpkin! It all tied in together!

I saw the Halloween angle also. Although most kids dress up like ghouls, witches and ghosts - Snoopy became a World War One Flying Ace! When I was five years old I actually got my first model: a Sopwith Camel with Snoopy as the pilot. When you turned the propeller it moved as it was battery operated. Very cool for a wittle kid in the Sixties!

Snoopy was everywhere in the Sixties. Real fighter pilots had him painted on their planes in Vietnam and if I'm not mistaken one of the Apollo crews brought a Snoopy doll with them to the moon as well. How could you have a Peanuts cartoon without Snoopy? Needless to say I enjoyed Snoopy (and Linus, and Charlie "I Got A Rock" Brown and all the rest of the gang) then as a kid and still do.

But to each his own . . . .
