Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
<6th Victory> Went out alone this morning met 4 Fokkers with red wings and white fuselages evidently Richthofen’s Gang. I was above it fired about 200 rounds into the last man who apparently went down out of control. Then saw five more but they were not so brave, Lt. [Sumner] Sewall was set on fire but landed safely in our lines. Went out this afternoon with all our squadron but saw nothing. German prisoners would be satisfied if they could only see America’s 3 machine gun. Ha. Ha.
