Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Lt. John Mitchell chased a Hun back into Germany making him land in which he turned over. Started on a patrol alone this morning [to] meet 12 English bombers. They arrived after being on the lines about 30 minutes. At the same time 8 Huns followed several Nieuports. Flew to attack, the combat lasting several minutes. I left and then returned. While Lt. Meissner was piquing on a plane his wing crashed and a Hun was on his tail, whom I drove off escorting him home. He landed safely. Lt. [Wilfred V.] Casgrain of Detroit was forced to land in no man’s land. Jumped out and ran into German trenches – is a prisoner.
