Your question is somewhat confusing, but I will try to answer it. If you want the rank structure for the United States Army Air Corps (pre-1947) it is: Private, Private First Class, Corporal or Technician 5th Grade, Sergeant or Technician 4th Grade, Staff Sergeant or Technician 3rd Grade, Technical Sergeant, Master Sergeant or First Sergeant. The officer grades have remained the same: 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General and General. If you are looking for the ranks of the United States Army and the United States Air Force, you can use this link to get to Defenselink and see them.
