Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Certainly an eventful day. Was called out at 3 A.M. to find out what the attack was. I went down over the trenches and strafed same from about 500 meters and played over no man’s land for 30 minutes. Saw the Germans shelling with gas which was blown back on their own men. It was Americans first gas attack. Later on we drove to Lunéville with Lt. Taylor [and] United Press Assoc. Had a wonderful trip. Had dinner in “Nancy” on our return. On our way to Toul we saw a family of wild boars so tried to catch a young one but was run home by the mother. Ha Ha.
