Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (03/31/1918) Awakened with it raining to beat the band so decided not to go out today. All the truck trains left outside of a few trucks for mechanics and tools. Just after lunch several of us boys were in the barracks where someone yelled fire in last hangar. All our planes were in same, so I dashed down but not until after some planes were burnt very badly. Mine included. So we must stay over until repairs can be made.
