Called up in 1915, Udvardy served in the infantry before he transferred to the Army Air Service. Posted to Flik 10 on the Russian front on 1 October 1916, he received fighter pilot training in January 1917 and was reassigned to Flik 42J in May 1917. With this unit he scored nine victories flying the Hansa-Brandenburg D.I and Albatros D.III. Udvardy marked both sides of his Albatros D.III with the number "7." During 1918, he formed a strong friendship with fellow pilots Friedrich Hefty and Johann Risztics. Amongst the airmen of Flik 42J, the trio became known as the Arany Triumviratus (Golden Triumvirate). Post-war, Udvardy served in the 8th Squadron of the Red Air Force.
