Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
<8th and 9th Victory> While out patrolling the lines this morning I met up with 5 Fokkers protecting two biplace. I dived onto the rear man, got him, then went thru their formation. Scared them nearly to death. They retired giving me a chance at one of the biplaces which I got, then returning home had confirmation on the biplace. Returned and got the party going at Major Hartney’s quarters. It was a grand success. Am very fond of Lois Meredith and know she is in favor of my acquaintance.
