Happy Birthday Eddie Rickenbacker! The most famous US Ace of WW1. Started the war as a driver for Col Billy Mitchell (Father of the US Air Force) and he helped get him into the air service where he excelled. Incredible life after the war. Wrote a great memoir of his war service.

It was a hub for soldiers and equipment so she would have been very busy. Lovely history!
