Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary

While flying about 5000 meters this morning over Tour. I met the same Hun plane as yesterday. Had a running fight for 40 minutes. Several jams and finally both guns jammed beyond repair. Continued the maneuver chasing Hun back home. Motor burnt up while over Germany but returned to France. Lt. Campbell was wounded in the back fighting a biplace. He returned to the field and landed safely. Wound is not serious.
