Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary

A new chapter has been started in my already adventuresome career. Have decided to write a book on my experiences and observations on “War in the Air”. Chapter No. 1 is completed titled “Down in Flames” it is very interesting change, my only hope is that the inspiration will last. Dear Ole Faunt [Fauntleroy] brought up some more fruit today and it was more than welcome. Story told by Lt. McAllister while in the Hospital sure is a peach regarding Soldier being wounded where he could not tell the lady.
