Yes, the US Army, Marine Corp, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard.
Higher qualified specialty mechanics in the US army are typically Warrant Officers, and enlisted men (albeit NCO's typically) can be pilots in all US Military branches.
What else can I help you with?
Were there enlisted men not officers who were pilots in the Army Air Corps in 1943?
Yes, there were enlisted men flying aircraft in WWII. Look on google.com under enlisted flyers, or flying chevrons.
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.
How many pilots in marine corps?

How many people are in Coast Guard aviation?
Only 1200 enlisted aviators(amts, aets, ast). Not sure bout total including officers(pilots)
Are USMC helicopter co-pilots considered Naval Flight Officers or Pilots?
They're considered pilots. Naval Flight Officers, who are also pilots, are only in the Navy.
Are there army enlisted pilots?
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.
How many men were members of the air force at the outbreak of World War 1?
None, the Air Force did not exist at that time. It didn't exist until after World War II! ----- At the time of the US entry into World War I, aviation was provided by the Aviation Section of the US Signal Corps. It had 65 regular officers, 66 reserve officers, 1,087 enlisted men. There wee 36 pilots and 51 student pilots. In addition, the United States Navy had 48 officers, 230 enlisted men devoted to aviation. The Army had 280 airplanes, all of which were trainers, and the Navy had 54 powered aircraft.
Can a flight sergeant be a pilot?
As a retired usaf officer and pilot i have never heard of the term flight sergeant used in the flying community. Perhaps you might be referring to a usaf flight, which similar to an army squad? If a usaf sergeant were to get a college degree and be commissioned in the usaf as an officer, he/she could then apply for pilot training, and if accepted, could then become a usaf pilot. No usaf sergeants are pilots, and all usaf pilots are officers. Hope this helps, and good luck!At one time, the military forces in the US and in other countries DID have enlisted men that were pilots. That stopped about 60 years ago. Pilots today are officers, and many Army helicopter pilots are Warrant Officers (slightly different from Commissioned Officers).AnswerA flight sergeant is an RAF NCO rank, between sergeant and warrant officer. A flight sergeant's rank insignia consisted of three stripes, surmounted by a crown, worn on each upper arm. During world war two, it was quite common for sergeants, flight sergeants, and warrant officers in British and Commonwealth squadrons to be pilots. It would not be unusual for the captain of a bomber crew to be an NCO pilot, even if other members (e.g. a navigator) were officers. This was also the case, incidentally, in the Luftwaffe, which also employed NCOs as pilots.Additional note:Although all RAF (and Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm) pilots are officers these days, the Army Air Corps still has NCO pilots - it's not unusual for Lynx and Apache pilots to be senior sergeants; who have undertaken and passed exactly the same aircrew selection and training as officers.
Do marine Officers go in combat?
yes Marine officers to go in combat. Atleast mine did Yes. If a Marine officer's job takes them and their Marines into harms way, they will go into combat regardless of his military occupational specialty (MOS). Every Marine is a rifleman. Every Marine officer is trained as an infantry officer first. Marine pilots are all officers. Squadrons are in the odd position of the enlisted men sending their officers out to fight (with the exception of the enlisted men who are gunners on aircraft with crew served weapons).
When did you have to have a degree to fly in military?
Most services only have commissioned officers as pilots, and a degree is a requirement of being a commissioned officer. However, it is possible to fly as a Warrant Officer - most Army helicopter pilots are Warrant Officers, rather than commissioned officers.
What do you call a person who flies an airplane?
A pilot flies an airplane. Airlines have pilots who are Captains, 2nd Officers, and 3rd Officers (e.g. the navigator).
Why all B 17 pilots were non commisioned officers in world war 2?
They weren't. Many were full commissioned officers.
