He took off on a combat mission in a MÁVAG Héja fighter, but shortly after take-off his aircraft crashed. His death caused widespread public reaction in Hungary, and his memory was prominently cultivated in contemporary propaganda and commemorations.
After his death, the Hungarian Post issued a mourning stamp in his memory.
