These were very common in the French Aviation Militaire slightly less so in the Lufstreitkrafte and relatively rare in the RFC or RNAS. However the pilot generation table in the Algy rules doesn't allow you to roll up non-commissioned pilots, which is a bit inconvenient, to say the leas.
So, I've been working on a solution which looks like this:
1. Roll 1D6 to determine if an NCO pilot is selected:
French (also Italian and Belgian) = 4 +
German = 5 +
British = 6
(there were no NCO pilots in the USAS)
2. Roll 1D6 to determine which row to use on the Pilot Generation Table:
5-6 = Use the Capt / Hptm row
2-4 = Use the Lt / Oblt row.
1 = Use the 2nd Lt / Lt row.
3. Roll 1D10 to determine pilot skill.
4. Assign an appropriate rank e.g. Adjutant, Sergent, Unteroffizier, Vixefeldwebel, Flight Sergeant etc.
This allows an NCO pilot to be any one of the four skill levels including Top and Junior Ace, which is both more realistic and more straightforward than adding an additional row to the existing table.
