"HAT IN RING" YANKS SLOGAN
NWAR, TO BE CAR MONOGRAM
Rickenbacker Selects Fighting Emblem After
Receiving Many Snappy Designs.

Hat in the ring''-the first
emblem of Yankee airmen to go
over German lines is to be per-
petuated in a novel and popular
manner.
When American air forces were
first modified as independent units,
the famous Ninety-fourth Squadron
was selected for the initial honor.
Under the wings of their dare
devil ships was the hat of Uncle
Sam in a ring of blue-a symbol or
uncompromising combat made pop
ular by tie immortal Roosevelt in
hts whirlwind political tours. When
the armistice was signed this spec
tacular group was still in the thick
of the great allied movement and
the hat in the ring" in
the face of the crumpling enemy.
Even after the armistice, the
Ninety-fourth was called upon to
continue its valiant work and was
attached to the. american army of
occupation, as the only Yankee pur-
suit squadron to penetrate enemy
and the flying fighters were no
needed. the Ninety-fourth Squadron
and the hat in the ring were
ordered back.
Other American squadrons had
more casualties and many rendered
individual and collective service to
the allies that placed them among
the glorious heroes of the war. But
few groups on the western front
contained so many daring airmen
and individual aces.
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, Amer
ica's ace of aces and one of the few
great surviving airmen of the world
war, was commander of the Ninety
fourth Squadron when hostilities
ceased Major Lufberry, the first
great American ace, who won aerial
fame long before the United States
entered the war, was plunged to his
death with the hat in the ring
emblazened on his wings
1t is fitting and fortunate that
'Rickenbacker," the name that car
ried the hat in the ring to glory
in time of war, should be the name
that will carry IL to posterity in
times of peace. A few weeks back,
the automobile world hailed the
advent of the Rickenbacker Motor

Company-producin car in honor
of the noted ace. Speculation as TO
the monogram to be adopted has
been enthusiastic and designs, and
offers came from all parts Of the
United States and Europe.
A famous French sculptor and ad-
mirer of Eddie Rickenbaca<er cabled
his Congratulations and offered to
design an emblem for the new
motor car as a tribute from the
artists of Paris to the American
ace. Former comrades of Ricken-
hacker, still in the service, sent a
special courier to Detroit carrying
small monogram for the new car
that had been carved from the pro-
peller of Kicks first fighting ship
on the western front.
But sentiment and patriotism and
devotion to his comrades who paid
the supreme price controlled Kicks
judgment and the choice of the
hat in the ring" prevailed. Walter
e. Flanders, B. F. Everitt, and his
other associates, announce the Of
fetal adoption of the emblem.
I'VE feel that the hat in the ring
will instantly become the most pop
ular automobile monogram In
American" stated 3. F. Everitt.
president of the new company.
Hat in the ring and the name
Rickenbacker were Joined in war
and we believe that is the patriotic
and logical thing to maintain that
union through the coming years of
peace and commerce.
THE Forty-ninth Aero Squadron
with the hat in the ring painted
in the national colors, brought sue
cess and glory to the allied cause.
Wherever that monogram travels on
the radiator of a motor car 1t will
serve to remind the world of what
was accomplished by motor driven
fighters and 1t shall be our pur-
pose, as the guardians Of this
legacy. to ever keep our efforts de-
