Eddie Rickenbacker – WW I Ace signed photo. The 5 x 7 photo is signed against a light background in blue ink, creating strong contrast and a visually appealing signature.
Rickenbacker became one of America’s first flying Aces, credited with shooting down over 30 enemy aircraft in World War I. He was awarded the Medal of Honor. Following the war, he helped promote racecar driving as a spectator sport and led Eastern Air Lines for many years, one of the first commercial airlines. Ironically his near-death experiences with airplanes came as a passenger not as a fighter pilot. His survival from a passenger plane crash and over three weeks adrift at sea from another crash contributed to his larger-than-life image.
