Are there army enlisted pilots?
maybe, maybe not. == As your question implies, most Army pilots in WW2 were Officers. I presume pilots could be enlisted or either Warrant Officers(one rank below a Lieutenant). I am almost sure this rank existed in WW2. (Warrant Officers were quite common for helicopter pilots of Viet Nam War.) One example of an enlisted pilot is found in a book "Alone and Unarmed", by Ernest Kowalik. Staff Sgt. Ernest Kowalik was a Army pilot for the 88th Division's artillery and was the only pilot who was not an officer in this division. He flew an L-4 Piper Cub to spot for the artillery; he was the pilot and also acted as the observer. This is a great account of the experiences of an Army pilot in Italy. I'm sure there were others who rose through the ranks and earned their wings.

Can a flight sergeant be a pilot?
As a retired usaf officer and pilot i have never heard of the term flight sergeant used in the flying community. Perhaps you might be referring to a usaf flight, which similar to an army squad? If a usaf sergeant were to get a college degree and be commissioned in the usaf as an officer, he/she could then apply for pilot training, and if accepted, could then become a usaf pilot. No usaf sergeants are pilots, and all usaf pilots are officers. Hope this helps, and good luck!At one time, the military forces in the US and in other countries DID have enlisted men that were pilots. That stopped about 60 years ago. Pilots today are officers, and many Army helicopter pilots are Warrant Officers (slightly different from Commissioned Officers).AnswerA flight sergeant is an RAF NCO rank, between sergeant and warrant officer. A flight sergeant's rank insignia consisted of three stripes, surmounted by a crown, worn on each upper arm. During world war two, it was quite common for sergeants, flight sergeants, and warrant officers in British and Commonwealth squadrons to be pilots. It would not be unusual for the captain of a bomber crew to be an NCO pilot, even if other members (e.g. a navigator) were officers. This was also the case, incidentally, in the Luftwaffe, which also employed NCOs as pilots.Additional note:Although all RAF (and Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm) pilots are officers these days, the Army Air Corps still has NCO pilots - it's not unusual for Lynx and Apache pilots to be senior sergeants; who have undertaken and passed exactly the same aircrew selection and training as officers.
