Eddie Rickenbacker, American ace
and former automobile racer. Let
Rickenbacker tell the story:
I'VE had finished our training and
being the first All-American outfit to
take to the front, without previous

before taking over responsibility of
patrolling a sector.
"One Saturday night we decided we
were ready for business. We called
up the French and told them. They

Toul beginning the next morning at
daybreak.
The First Patrol.
Accordingly we planned the first
gimper patrol. Capt. David Peterson
led it, while Lieut.. Reed Chambers and
I were the rest of the personnel.
Captain Peterson had had considera bic
experience over the line.
Before going up he told me to
take the leadership of the patrol IN
case he had rotor trouble and had to
come down ard that we would not
need to patrol if it were too cloudy.
So we went up with that understand

Just as we were ready to start,
Reed Chambers yelled to Doug Camp

I'VE circled around for altitude and
Captain Peterson came down. He had
decided it was too cloudy to patrol,
but had assumed he had motor trou-
BILE and started off for the lines, with
Chambers follo1 g me.
TT was our first trip over, and we
made long one. Before long we ran
into a couple of Huns and Unanswered
to fire on them. We got a couple of
shots at them and they ran. We con-
tinued our patrol, not without appre-
hension, since we were not sure of our
locations and that first trip is scary
one, even when you are led by some
one who knows the lines.

chased out of the clouds were.
After Chambers's promise to scare
up some Huns, Campbell and Winslow
had gone into the tent and were play
to answer an alert They had barely
jumped into their machines and
gained some altitude, when they saw
two German planes coming for the
camp.
Both thought the Germans were
coming to strafe the hangers and each
picked out a German to head him off.
Dong took the first one and got OF. his
tail. He landed the German right on
the aviation field four and a half min

of landing them right on the home
