Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
No flying today. Tried out my idea on gas tank which would not burn, by building one tank around the other and leaving a space of 1/8” between which I filled with pyrene which prevents the air from coming in contact with incendiary bullet. Fired two explosive incendiary bullets thru same, neither affecting the gas, am going to have experimental dept. take up same.
