Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
<22nd and 23rd Victories> Had one patrol this morning, but weather was terrible so came back, had dinner with Max Foster and 2 other newspaper boys. While out this afternoon I met 3 Fokkers just west of Grandpre one of which I fired about 150 rounds into, then over Bois-de-Mercy met a Fokker after one of our bombers. Must have shot his motor as he started down with dead stick maneuvered so he would land in France just before landing another SPAD piqued and fired on the Fokker. I forced him away Capt. Coolidge was downed by an Archie [antiaircraft].
