George Herbert Walker Bush, the 41st president of the United States, is the first pilot to hold the office of president. He was, in fact, the youngest naval aviator to date on June 9, 1943 -- just 3 days before his 19th birthday. He postponed his plans for college due to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Oahu, on December 7, 1941.

Bush was designated a Naval Aviator, and while his training was certainly more intense than civilian pilot training, it is not technically the same as having a civilian pilot's license. Most military pilots simply have to apply to the FAA and take a written exam to be issued a civilian pilot's license.
