Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Had many good pictures taken this A.M. by Capt. Cooper. We were going to make our movie of the Hun planes this afternoon, had everything arranged. Went up [with] Lt. Chambers, also went up with the Hannover, but Lt. Meissner on taking off crashed the Liberty, so it was postponed until tomorrow. Major Hartney told me this evening that we were to be decorated by General [Mason M.] Patrick tomorrow and that I was to receive the DSC with 4 oak leaves. 4 of our Boys brought down a Halberstadt this afternoon, making Lt. Cook an Ace.
