Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
<21st Victory> Had a patrol this morning but no results. While out this afternoon saw a German plane bring down one of our balloons then fly for his lines. I started for Germany to lead him off and was watching him so closely that I awakened amid 4 Fokkers evidently his protection. Had about 100 rounds at close range, but did not follow him down as I was busy with the other 3 and trying to get home.
