Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary

Had a patrol over Fère en Tardenois no results. Returned to Coincy and refilled then started out for protection job over Fismes. On arriving at the lines saw 8 Huns going into the sun. We made two trips over the objective when I saw the Boche dive. I gave the signal and all returned safely. After which I returned had two bursts at a Hun and returned. Saw the 77 Division going into the line. Gee, but they were a grinning lot, just as thick.
