Flight officer was an Army Air Forces rank used from 1942 to 1945 for airmen who did not meet requirements for an officer commission, such as age or aducation. The rank was equivalent to Warrant Officer Junior Grade. Some enlisted and aviation cadet trainees who successfully passed air qualification training were appointed as Flight Officers and served as rated pilots, navigators, flight engineers, bombardiers and glider pilots. After the end of World War II, the Army Air Forces discontinued the use of the rank of flight officer. All of the service's flight officers had either been promoted to commissioned officer ranks during the course of the war or discharged.
