Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary

Was out this afternoon with the crowd but unable to get near several Huns on other side of the lines. Came back and took out another plane. Went over to Pont-á-Mousson, up the river Moselle to Arry, then back over to the 3 fingered lake where I found a Hun balloon on the ground, set it in flames. Crossed over lines and was again picked up by search lights and shot at all the way home. Col. Mitchell and Gen. Pershing’s aide saw me land.
