Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Left Camp at 5:20 A.M. flying low up the Meuse River to Villy, then returned over Sivry-sur-Meuse, met enemy balloon being hauled by truck towards me. Fired about 150 rounds and it went down in flames. I returned. Lt. Sherry was forced down by five Fokkers and landed in no man’s land, had to get into a [shell] hole. Lt. Nutt was in a fight with 3 [Fokkers], shot one down in flames and was then shot down himself. Lt. Sherry buried him where he fell.
