Too much swooping ?

Hope you have an air sickness bag in that Sopwith Camel!!

@Snoopy

Just fly directly over the Red Baron and smile, when he’s puzzled/confused…

LET HIM HAVE IT, PUKE ALL OVER HIM!!

Aww.

Air Swoopness Syndrome. (I refuse to abbreviate).

The Snoopster forgot to take his Dramamine.

Snoopy would make a good actor for a world war two movie.

Where, Snoopy, where?

I wonder how many potential pilots washed out because of air sickness?… especially in WWI (or… Global War Part One)… you never see that in the movies.

Fifth panel: And then WHAM!!!

The Red Baron blows our hero out of the sky, as usual!

Always pack Dramamine

Take it easy, Snoop!

Dramamine might have been around in 1967, but definitely not in 1917.

poor Snoopy!!!

Ooh, better land before you throw up, Ace.

I seem to remember reading that while the Sopwith Camel had no problems swooping to the right, swooping to the left was a different matter. The engines in those planes was a “rotary” engine, in that the crankshaft was bolted solid to the airframe while the engine block was bolted to the propeller, and the whole engine block turned as the engine was running. This created a gyroscopic effect that made the plane able to make very sharp right turns but it had difficulty turning left…

why’s Snoopy sick??!!!!!!….he air sick huh??!!!!!!!!!
