Charles M. Schulz: Snoopy on a First Day Cover

What can a cartoonist add to a first day cover? Often not much, but once in a while everything on the envelope comes together synergistically. One of the best of these covers I've seen is an air mail postal envelope with a printed cachet honoring Charles Lindbergh's 1927 nonstop flight from New York to Paris. The FDC is embellished in ink by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. He has added a drawing of World War I flying ace Snoopy flying what any aviation buff will tell you is a Sopwith Camel.
