Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
While on patrol we met 7 Hun planes of which we attacked without results. During the combat my guns jammed but was forced to stay [on] account of two of my formation was still fighting. It’s very exciting to stay on in a combat and dive on a Hun knowing your guns will not work. If he only knew!
