After serving with an artillery regiment, Tahy transferred to the Army Air Service in early 1916. Posted to Flik 12 on the Isonzo front, he was soon reassigned to Flik 19 after a disagreement with his commanding officer. With this unit he was wounded in action on 3 December 1916 and scored five victories as an observer in less than seven months. Having learned to fly with Flik 19, Tahy transferred to Flik 51J in September 1917 and scored two more victories as a scout pilot. He was killed when his Albatros D.III (153.69) went into an unexplained spin over Mansue and crashed. |
