Before Eddie Rickenbacker was a WWI Ace, he was a race car driver who was trying to become a good pilot. By the end of WWI, he would be the biggest celebrity to come out of the War. Here he stands next to a car in which he was using to drive General Pershing around and HE SENT THIS CARD to the Seattle Post Intelligencer directly from the Western Front with his regards! The newspaper caption the paper used to make an article is glued to the back and the image on the front of this postcard was used with an incredible caption! A unique new discovery in great shape, this is one of the most exciting items we pulled from this entire archive and it is being offered here for the first time ever!
