| In a dogfight with Erwin Böhme on 4 February 1917, Curphey received a head wound and was forced to land his outdated D.H.2. Böhme was credited with his 10th victory. Curphey recovered but was killed in combat three months later while attacking a German balloon. His "pusher" was shot down by an Albatros flown by Franz Walz of Jasta 2. |
