This research paper takes the story of Frank Luke Jr. and breaks
down the mental characteristics that drove his actions. It is
useful to those who are interested in the concept of courage, where
it comes from, and the type of people who have it. The first
chapter is a very brief description of Frank's story to set the
context of this discussion. Chapter 2 analyzes the philosophical
concepts of courage using the thoughts of Walton and Miller; found
in the bibliography. Chapter 3 analyzes Frank's story through
Aristotle. This discussion uses Aristotle's ideas of the citizen
soldier, experience, passion, a sanguine person, and ignorance of
danger as a baseline in defining the courage of Frank Luke. Chapter
4 uses Lt Col (Dr.) Matthew Stafford's concept of a pilot's mental
progression through World War I which includes the aspects of fear,
invulnerability, calculability, and apathy to explain Frank Luke's
actions along with identifying challenges for combat leaders.
Finally, the conclusion identifies the major lessons learned from
this study.
