I don't know about the other services, but the Air Force allows PRK corrective eye surgery for pilots and crews but not Lasik. It also depends on what kind of pilot you want to be. The requirement of fighter aircrafts is certainly stricter than C130 propeller cargo plane.

What did a pilot do in World War 2?
First of all there was no branch called the Air Force during World War 2 in any of the Allied Forces. They were either Army Air Force, Marine Air Force and Navy Air Forces and the Brits added the word Royal to their forces. If you added up all the "air forces" of Russia, The US, The UK and other nations you would have a total that could surpass several hundred thousand. The Germans and Italians had aviators too. If you add them then you definitely surpass many hundreds of thousand of pilots flying during World War 2.
How much would a World War 2 unopened German parachute worth?
Need to know more information - is it a parachute packed for a paratrooper, a pilot's survival chute, a cargo chute, an emergency seat chute, or ???? But basic answer is - a pilot's chute or a paratrooper's chute would definitely be worth plenty! Cargo chutes are generally of much less collector interest.
