LUCAS V. BEAU

CAREER OFFICER, INSTRUCTOR

Lucas V. Beau landed once at Tucson on May 10, 1929. He carried one passenger, H.C. Cassidy. Based at Denver, CO, they were westbound, arriving from Lordsburg, NM with a return to Denver. They flew in a Douglas O2-H, number 28-349. He became an instructor for the Colorado National Guard at Denver in July 1928. This may have been a round-robin training flight.

Beau is a founding member of The Order of Daedalians. He was a first lieutenant at the time of his landing at the Davis-Monthan Airfield. He had received that rank on July 1, 1920.

We are fortunate to have an almost complete history of his military promotions over the years (and some decorations). You may view that history in this PDF file. These documents come to us from site visitor James E. Jones.

Born August 3, 1895, pilot Beau died after suffering a heart attack on October 22, 1986. He was 91 years old. His military accomplishments are summarized here (PDF 16MB, 1,021 pages, cf. pp. 142-44).
