Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (04/05/1918). Weather beautiful this morning. Capt. Hall, Capt. Peterson were out over the lines today without machine guns. We were going to send out a patrol this afternoon but same failed account of bad weather. Major [William] Thaw was over today. Said there was one more SPAD left. I hope its for me. 3 enlisted boys had their hands badly blown up when trying to open a fused carburetor. Received several letters from home today.
