Navy, army, the US pilots and the FBI
A naval battle of WW2, in which trainee (new) Japanese Navy Pilots were shot down by experienced US Navy Pilots. Japan had lost most of their experienced combat pilots at the Battle of Midway.
Navy. We'll take anybody.
Army and Navy. The Marines were a smaller unit then and a part of the Navy. The Coast Guard was part of the Treasury Department in peace, and part of the Navy in war. The US Army had military pilots, but no equivalent to an air force until after World War 1. [In 1917-18 US pilots flew for the French.]
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.
US Navy Aircraft Carriers normally operated US Navy aircraft flown by US Navy pilots; however sometimes during WW2 these aircraft carriers had US Army Air Force or US Marine Corps aircraft on-board to be flown-off by Army or Marine pilots. This was for ferrying operations. These aircraft would take off from the carriers but land on an airfield. Army pilots were not trained to land on carriers, neither were the Army aircraft equipped for carrier landings. US Marine pilots & Marine aircraft could operate from carriers if necessary, until they could be established at an airfield.
The British Harrier Pilots did well, but the British Navy under estimated the Argentine A-4 Skyhawk pilots (the US sold them US Jet Aircraft years earlier). Had not the Argentine pilots armed their bombs better, the British Navy would have probably lost the war. The A-4 pilots scored many hits on British warships, but half were duds. They had been armed for detonating at different altitudes. Had those bombs been armed properly, the British Navy would've been sunk, nearly all of them.
Absolutely not - there are far more planes in the Navy than there will ever be Academy graduates who are on a flight career path.
Nope. Sorry MateImproved Answer:Hell yeah!! I'm a girl and I totally dig pilots! Especially US Air Force Fighter Pilots!! There like the awesomest people ever!! Girls just go to an air show and talk to Military Fighter Pilots! (USAF Thunderbirds or US Navy Blue Angels) THERE SO HOT AND COOL!!
Yes, there were many US Navy medics.
In the US Air Force and US Navy, fighter pilots often live at home with their families between deployments. We typically do not take our families to front-line duty stations, although this was somewhat common in Germany during the cold war.
Not only are there black Captains, but there are several flag officers (Admirals) as well.
