Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Was out on patrol today, but saw nothing of interest. Very bad weather. Capt. Cooper finally got his movies this afternoon. Lt. Chambers flew the Hannover, Lt. Taylor was his observer, Lt. Meissner flew the Liberty with Capt. Cooper, and I flew my SPAD. We had all incendiary bullets to fire at each other doing combat, flares for putting Hun on fire, and a dummy cropped out as the observer doing the action. French Breguets passed over the field and fired on Chambers in the Hun plane with its crosses on. He landed safely, then I went above clouds and Cooper made some beautiful pictures.
