Think you will find that the chap sat at the controlls was usually the "Captain" . Sorry bit of a cop out.
If he was a "helmsman" he would have been responding to orders given to him from the Captain or Officer of the Watch or Navigating Officer (Pilot, er, more confusion) stood next to him, er, in other words, I don't think so.

(Spash, do you realy mean Aircrewman or Aircrew? Ah yes, thought so.)
