Panic was their principal symptom. It is not hard to see why. In the wolf-pack society of the cattle and mining towns where most of the man-killers hung their Stetsons, the gunfighter was top dog and therefore fair game for every pup that put metal on his leg.

...Hamilton Air Force Base band burst into Anchors Aweigh. The flyers of the U.S. Air Force -and Navy, along with half a dozen civilian aviation groups decided it was high time to pay tribute to Snoopy, pilot par excellence and fearless scourge of the Red Baron. As the peerless pup's creator, Cartoonist Charles Schulz, stood at attention, they gave him a pair of gold wings and a picture of Snoopy in fighter-pilot gear. It was too bad that Snoopy could not be there in person, said Schulz. "He's on his way to the moon...
