That was totally wonderful. I love Peanuts and Poe and Lovecraft, but I admit that I never thought of combining them like that.
I think the funniest bit was "I struck out for the aerodrome and asked after a pilot skilled in night reconnaissance. The mechanics there—diminutive, jaundiced fellows—directed me to a small French-themed café alongside the airstrip.
There, I met my pilot. He was a veteran of the war, with a characteristically large Gallic nose and sharp black eyes that peered from just underneath the seam of his leather flying cap. He nursed his root beer silently,"
but then I always loved the Snoopy vs Red Baron stuff.
