No. He was a four star general. He may have become a 5 star general had he lived longer. However, in December of 1945 he was in a car accident and was paralyzed from the neck down. After a few weeks, he succumbed to his injuries. And there were 5 star generals at the time. Eisenhower, Marshall, and MacArthur were all 5 star generals.

Gen., General, then General of the air force ( which is like a 5 star general and normally only during time of war there will be one Dear Mr. William Galloway, With due respect to you, Mr. Galloway, I think Lt. General is one rank higher than Maj. General. In the order that you have mentioned the ranks in your posting, it appears that it is the other way. As far as my knowledge is concerned, a major general carries two stars while a lieutenant general carries three, a full pledge general, four. A brigadier general one. You are right on five-star general. As you surely know, among five-star generals were Gen. Omar Bradley, Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Pres. Dwight Eisenhower, to name just three.
