Who were World War 2 pilots?

Answer 1

there was only 1 for a fact

Answer 2

There were MANY categories of pilots in WWII: Reconnaissance, Volunteers, Reserves, Auxiliaries, Torpedo Bomber, Dive Bomber, Fighter Pilots, Bomber Pilots, Ferrying Pilots, Women Pilots, etc.

However, probably the best way to define the airmen of WWII was in two basic categories: Naval Aviators and Army (Air Force) Aviators. The reason for this is because WWII actually consisted of two different wars (because it had to basic enemies: Germany & Japan): The war against Germany was a short range land war, while the war against Japan was a long range ocean war. Or, you could say it another way; the war against Germany primarily consisted of armies, while the war against Japan primarily consisted of navies. Since they both were fought with pilots, land based pilots fought primarily in the German war, whilst sea based pilots primarily fought in the Pacific War. Naval airmen fought from aircraft carriers whilst Army (Air Force) airmen took off from airfields on the ground (mostly based in Great Britain).
