Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (03/08/1918). Excellent weather this A.M. Went after E.G. [Lt. Edgar G.] Tobin’s plane, which he turned over in mud on arriving at the place where [Lt. Edward] Buford turned over. I decided to fly his plane back which had turned over in landing. Same was in good condition outside of the bad weather, arrived safe at the camp. Found Major [Raoul] Lufbery had arrived and is going to take charge of the flying. Had dinner and went back after Lt. Tobin’s plane in Motorcycle. Found it in good shape. Flew same safely back to camp. Oh yea started to raise a funny little brush on my upper lip.
