FO is Forward Observer. They usually spotted for artillery but also flew reconniasance. Most FO did not fly the aircraft. However there were some FO who did pilot the light L-3 and L-4 observation planes for field artillery supporting the infantry.

A good book to read a first-hand account of a FO Pilot is "Alone and Unarmed" by Kowalik.
