Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (03/20/1918). Nothing to do until tomorrow. Raining all day, for some unknown reason I had a new plane, which was just brought back from Paris, assigned to me. Same has a machine gun on. Was ordered to be ready for flights tomorrow afternoon. The French Commander has just notified us that papers on a German aviator just captured state, just before the great expected offensive on the German part, our camp will be bombed completely. “Oh Boy.” Same is expected any day.
