Snoopy USAF Hooded Sweatshirt Grey Marl

Grey Marl premium weight soft 100% Portuguese cotton hooded sweatshirt with vintage 60s Peanuts print. During the early 1960s Schulz gave permission for the US Airforce to use Snoopy as their official ‘war dog’ mascot. As a WWII veteran himself, Schulz began to use the Flying Ace scenarios as an allegory for what was happening in Vietnam, expressing his own feelings about the horrors of war. Rather than explicitly criticise the strategy or politics of the US military, he used the Flying Ace and his battle against The Red Baron to communicate the absurdities of war and convey his empathy for the American troops and his deeply ambivalent feelings about the Draft.
