Not counting helicoper pilots and aircrewmen; over 6,000 Fixed-wing/propeller/jet US pilots and aircrewmen were killed or missing during the Vietnam War.
That might be difficult to prove, since RAF pilots wore the same leather helmets when flying all of their aircraft...Hurricanes, Lancasters, Mosquitos, as well as US supplied Wildcats, Hellcats, etc. And, you probably wrote "World War 1" by mistake, since your question actually refers to WWII.
It is just one which is Japan. Two cities, namely Hiroshima and Nagasaki, were targeted by the US and were hit by nuclear bombs in WWII.
The US had about fifteen battleships during WWII. Your question does not specify which one you mean.
The WASPs: Women Pilots of WWII. They were pioneers, and as such they often faced disbelief and resentment from male officers. Nonetheless, the female pilots were fearless and committed. Thirty-eight women would be killed in the line of duty.
Japenese suicide pilots.
White Anglo saxon Protestat women airforce services pilots of WWII
45,000
There are quit a few pilots in the US Army, of course most of which are helicopter pilots, if I had to put a number on it I would say approximately 10,000
The Korean War was a re-play of WWII. With the exception of the jets, aircraft used in the war were WWII planes; this includes the bombers like the B29 Superfortress. The tanks, rifles, machine guns, helmets, hand grenades, mortars, artillery, were also WWII equipment. In fact, many of the US pilots, airmen, tankers, infantrymen, artillerymen, etc. were WWII veterans. Only 5 years separated Korea from WWII.
us in ww2
how many wwii u.s. veterans are still alive
Many pilots during WWII, but some big names are, Richard Bong, Thomas Mcguire and Charles Lindbergh.
US pilots flying propeller driven airplanes shot down German experimental jets during the last stages of WWII.
Approximately 7,100 Females out of about 115100 pilots (both female and male) in the US!
Hahahaha good one. No.. They were in the kitchen.
I doubt that they invented it, but Japanese kamikaze pilots used the technique in WWII.
