Back then (WWI, not when the strip was originally published) or even now in open cockpit planes, flying in the rain must have been like driving a motorcycle in it. Not fun. Especially without raingear.
For some reason the four days of strips from 1968 that would have followed yesterday’s strip were skipped. They all involved Franklin visiting the neighborhood for the first time. Maybe it’s because of the hatching Schulz used on Franklin in the original B&W it’s difficult to show him in color?

I’m not surprised. A Sopwith Camel has an open cockpit and fabric wings. I’m sure they can fly in the rain, but I don’t think anyone would want to.
