maybe, maybe not. == As your question implies, most Army pilots in WW2 were Officers. I presume pilots could be enlisted or either Warrant Officers(one rank below a Lieutenant). I am almost sure this rank existed in WW2. (Warrant Officers were quite common for helicopter pilots of Viet Nam War.) One example of an enlisted pilot is found in a book "Alone and Unarmed", by Ernest Kowalik. Staff Sgt. Ernest Kowalik was a Army pilot for the 88th Division's artillery and was the only pilot who was not an officer in this division. He flew an L-4 Piper Cub to spot for the artillery; he was the pilot and also acted as the observer. This is a great account of the experiences of an Army pilot in Italy. I'm sure there were others who rose through the ranks and earned their wings.

Why do Air Force pilots have to be officers?
They have to be officers simply because a pilot designation is only available to officers. Under current policy in the Navy, Marines and Air Force, all pilots must be commissioned officers. The majority of Army pilots are Warrant Officers which falls in the rank structure higher than enlisted members, but lower than commissioned officers. There have been times in the past when enlisted personel have been designated as pilots in various programs within the services due to needs of the services etc. In WWII, there were many enlisted pilots, but few if any since then. There are several reasons cited for the requirement for pilots to be officers. Some have referred to the need for more educated personnel to perform a task requiring more education, and general intelligence to be effective. Other's cite the need to compensate pilots at higher pay rates in order to keep them in the military for longer periods of time required to complete training, and become proficient.
