Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (04/24/1918). Was called on an alert near St. Mihiel about noon. So when I arrived on the lines the antiaircraft led me to the German biplace plane. While trying to get under same, a monoplace Albatros came out on me so I maneuvered above him, but just as I had decided to attack, there were two more planes came out from Germany so I gave up the fight. Went out to look over the trenches and artillery. Saw our batteries fire several times and several German shells came back at once without effect.
