Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (05/07/1918). America’s greatest loss today while out on alert with Capt. Hall and Lt. [Edwin] Green. I saw 3 German planes in Germany so I turned the patrol around and the attack soon started. Capt. Hall must have had motor trouble as he was last seen going down behind a woods in Germany. Lt. Green and I returned O.K. There must be a few new squadrons opposing us as our patrols had several fights later in the day.
