Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Lt. Chambers and [Samuel] Kaye of my squadron shot down a Fokker the A.M. Col. Mitchell arrived this P.M. [at] 6:30 stating 11 troop trains had left Metz and they wanted several volunteers to fly about 60 kil. in Germany to locate same. Lt. Cook, Lt. Coolidge, and myself started out at dark. On the way back over, search lights picked me up and being unable to [answer] their signal, was fired on all the way home. Landing at 8:00 P.M. by flares it was a great sensation.
