What kind of recognition did male civilian ferry pilots receive?

I really don't know Bryan but if they died doing a necessary job for the war effort like many of these gallant ladies, they are heroes in my book.

People died in factories doing a necessary job for the war effort. Did all the factory workers get the Gold Congressional Medal (or whatever they called it)?

BTW, my uncle was a civilian ferry pilot during WW2. He didn’t get anything except a pink slip at war’s end.
