Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary

<19th and 20th Victories> Lt. Cook got a balloon this morning in flames. I drove the Liberty for Cooper while taking pictures of Germany and myself. Picture titled “Over the Lines with the Ace of Aces.” While on patrol this evening Chambers shot down 2 Huns, Lt. Jeffers shot down one, I got one in flames and possibly another. Certainly one proud of the 94th Squadron and to be in command of same. Germany answered President Wilson’s note agreeing to all terms.
