Courage as a Virtue in the History of Military Pilots

Absztrakt

Virtues that are important to societies and that can come to the foreground in our everyday lives and define us – such as courage, honour, and loyalty – have been of outstanding importance both in the past and in the present, where they are considered fundamental and essential virtues for the practice of the military profession. Nowadays, although honour and loyalty can be influenced, courage is based on the personality of the individual, a quality that can be learned and developed. It is an indispensable element of the military career, as our greatest historical role models also achieved military successes thanks to this virtue.
