	: ''Emil Thuy was born in Hagen [other sources state in Barmen near Wuppertal], Germany, the son of a factory owner [tool factory; his mother owned a drugstore]. He was interested in airplanes even as a child, building models and testing a glider. [[Abitur\|After graduation from secondary school]], he worked for a while in a colliery in Lebanon, Germany. He then enrolled in 1913 in the Faculty of Mining at the Technical University of Clausthal; he was interested in metallurgical engineering. In August 1914, Thuy volunteered to serve as a pioneer, which was the German equivalent of a combat engineer. After only six weeks basic training, he was rushed into combat. In November 1914, he was so severely wounded as to be considered unfit for further military service. Nevertheless, when he recuperated, he volunteered for the Luftstreitkräfte. He underwent aviation training in Berlin. He then reported for duty with FFA 53, which was a reconnaissance unit that spotted and directed artillery fire from the air. He reported in on 10 July 1915 as a Vizefeldwebel or non-commissioned pilot. He would remain with FFA 53 until 1 November 1916. Despite flying a two seater plane poorly suited for combat, he scored his first victory on 8 September 1915. On 1 November 1916, he entered fighter pilot training, graduating only 18 days later. He was then assigned to Jagdstaffel 21, then equipped with Albatros fighters. He was commissioned a leutnant (lieutenant) in the reserves on 27 March 1917 after three weeks training. On 16 April 1917, after joining Saxon Jagdstaffel 21 [under [https://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Schleich,_Eduard_Ritter_von Eduard-Maria Joseph Schleich] ], he scored his second victory. He began to tally triumphs on a regular basis [leading young pilots as Kettenführer, among them [https://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Thom,_Karl_(1893) Karl Thom] ]. By the time he left Jasta 21 on 29 September 1917, his list read 14, with number 14 being shot down on 22 September. He then transferred to command Jasta 28 ([[Württemberg]]), which had lost two commanders killed in action in the previous month. On 24 September, he scored his first victory with his new squadron. He continued to accumulate wins on a steady basis, by ones and twos. He was injured in a crash on 2 February 1918. On the 20th, he was discharged from hospital and returned to duty. On 30 June 1918, he was awarded the Blue Max (Pour le Merite). At about this time, he changed aircraft from the Pfalz D.III he had been flying, to a Fokker D.VII. In July, Jagdgruppe 7 was founded, incorporating his Jasta and three others [among them Jasta 57 with [https://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Viebig,_Hans Hans Viebig] ]. Thuy commanded both JG 7 and Jasta 28 simultaneously. He ended his victory string by shooting a double on 14 October 1918.''		: ''Emil Thuy was born in Hagen [other sources state in Barmen near Wuppertal], Germany, the son of a factory owner [tool factory; his mother owned a drugstore].
