Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
<13th and 14th Victories> Was out this morning but nothing happened. Had a balloon strafing on this afternoon. Lt. Coolidge got one balloon, 1 Fokker, and was in with me on a biplace (my first in our lines). Lt. [Wiley S.] Sparks, [Thorne C.] Taylor, and [William W.] Palmer got one Fokker in Germany. I got another biplace in Germany. Lt. [Eugene R.] Scroggie and Lt. [Walter L.] Avery of Columbus have failed to return, we have hopes for Scroggie.
