| | Walz joined the army in 1905 and was an experienced pilot when the war began. Flying more than 500 sorties during the war, he seems to have been a mediocre fighter pilot. In 1916 he shot down 6 two-seaters before he was wounded in combat. On 14 May 1917, he scored his only victory of the year by shooting down an outdated D.H.2 piloted by English ace, William Curphey. Despite his low score, he was awarded the Blue Max in 1918. |
