Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (04/02/1918). Started from Villeneuve 3:30 with 22 planes of which 20 arrived safely. One had motor trouble, the other landed in a bad field just short way from our field. I started back immediately for Villeneuve with Lt. [William F.] Loomis, Tobin, Lt. [Hobart A.H.] Baker, Seth Low. The last 3 were on their way to Lafayette squadron. We arrived at Chalons just after Germans had quit bombing. Stayed there for the night.
