Having served as a two-seater pilot with Schusta 30, Boy was reassigned to Jasta 14 in December 1917. He was credited with 5 victories before his Fokker D.VII was shot down in flames by an S.E.5a near Staden on the morning of 7 October 1918. His opponent that day was Canadian ace Camille Lagesse of 29 Squadron, who watched Boy bale out of his plane with a burning parachute. Badly wounded, Boy survived the jump but was captured when he reached the ground. |
