United States Military rank Mistake and suggestion


Recommended Posts

Posted

This uneducated poster must point out an inaccuracy in the Officer ranks in the USAAF. In the pilot career 

There is no such rank as a "Flight Officer". The lowest active duty officer rank at the time for the USAAF is 2nd Lieutenant

So instead of,

Flight Officer, 

2nd Lieutenant ,

1st Lieutenant,

Captain and Major.... for ranks why not go......

 

2nd Lieutenant ,

1st Lieutenant,

Captain,

 Major then Lieutenant Colonel?

 

If I am wrong let me know...

Not, it would not. More guys were commissioned as Flight Officers than were Second Lieutenants. That sort of thing was reserved for only the very best pilots in any given class.
