Lieut. Eddie Rickenbacker. all Ameri-

Every man has a picture Of a hal
in a ring on his machine. That means
he is ready to fight any time whether
Heine wants TO or not. The squadron
is sometimes known as tho hat-in-the-
ring squadron, but among ourselves
It's glmpers. We adopted the hat-in-
the-ring as our emblem back In our
training days Then 10 was our hope
TO be first lighting squadron to get to
the front
"Our commanding officer, who had
flown with the French, used 10 have
n hat as the emblem Of his machine
Some one suggested that we take the
hat, but put a ring around it, carrying
out the idea Of eX-President Aoose-
velt's statement that we were ready TO

"The hat we had in mind then was
derby, and some one suggested when
we were discussing the emblem thai
10 be made an Uncle Sans hat with
stars and stripes on lt. The idea was
q gimper Itself, and we soon designed
an Uncle Sans hat in a ring Of red,
white and blue on each machine.
For a long time we could say moth
