Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. [Fauntleroy] arrived today so we arranged for him to stay with the 94th [Squadron]. At noon, saw a boy catch fire over the field and dive to the ground, bursting into flames. He was taken from the plane in a very bad condition by a mechanic whom I have awarded or recommended for medal. Lt. Sidney White was his name of 27th [Squadron]. Orders for tomorrow bring out the fact that it is “D” day and no doubt this is the last great battle of the World War.
