Pershing Signature Pair, Generals & Their Flags Pershing Trading Card & Eddie Rickenbacker Signature Lot of 4 pieces: Eddie Rickenbacker signature written on a 5 x 1 inch scrap of paper with black text; Pair of John J. Pershing signatures, also on pieces of paper that appear to be the closing of letters, one listing him as Chairman; and a 1939 colorized Generals & Their Flags trading card, featuring No. 425 General Pershing on front with a brief description of his exploits on back. All are in VF condition. Edward Vernon Rickenbacker (October 8, 1890 - July 23, 1973) was an American fighter ace in World War I and a Medal of Honor recipient. With 26 aerial victories, he was the United States’ most successful fighter ace in the war and is considered to have received the most awards for valor by an American during the war. He was also a race car driver and automotive designer, a government consultant in military matters and a pioneer in air transportation, particularly as the long-time head of Eastern Air Lines. John Joseph Pershing GCB (September 13, 1860 - July 15, 1948), nicknamed “Black Jack”, was a senior United States Army officer. He served most famously as the commander of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) on the Western Front in World War I, 1917–18. In addition to leading the A.E.F. to victory in World War I, Pershing notably served as a mentor to many in the generation of generals who led the United States Army during World War II, including George Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, Lesley J. McNair, George S. Patton and Douglas MacArthur. Pershing is the only American to be promoted in his own lifetime to General of the Armies, the highest possible rank in the United States Army. Allowed to select his own insignia, Pershing chose to use four gold stars to distinguish himself from those officers who held the rank of General, which was signified with four silver stars. After the creation of the five-star General of the Army rank during World War II, his rank of General of the Armies could unofficially be considered that of a six-star general, but he died before the proposed insignia could be considered and acted upon by Congress.
