Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (03/24/1918). Have been busy all day putting on my sights. Will test same tomorrow then am ready for the front. Paris was shelled yesterday for 8 hours by some new gun dropping 240 mm shells from behind the lines about 110 kil. Seems most impossible but papers all state same to be true. Order came this morning stopping French squadrons from going over to English Front however one got away last night which is some speed.
