Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary

Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (04/06/1918). Had a grand walk over the hills today. First we, that is John Wentworth and myself, walked over to Amanty the biplace photographic squadron. Met several of the boys who were at Issoudun. We had lunch there and then went over to the little village. Returned about 4:30. Nothing new. Late last night one of the boys came in with a rumor that we were to move at once for Toul, take over a French squadron’s equipment and planes. Oh joy more mail from home and happiness.
