Well, I'm not sure that there is any evidence as to whether he does or not in history, but it could be that he does in the future?
The second prophecy of Mandos (deleted from 'The Silmarillion' by Christopher Tolkien, but to be found in 'The History of Middle-earth') says that at the End of Days, "When the world is old and the Powers grow weary, then Morgoth, seeing that the guard sleepeth, shall come back through the Door of Night out of the Timeless Void; and destroy the Sun and Moon. But Earendil shall descend upon him as a white and searing flame and drive him from the airs."
So, to destroy the Sun and Moon, and then be driven from the airs by Earendil, is Morgoth deploying wings to fly? Or is he flying via other means?
Morgoth, as a being of pure spirit, who can cloak himself in bodily form, can presumably shape his body to his desires. If he wants wings he should be able to have wings?
Does this imply that though we all know that the Balrog did not have wings, he could have had them had he wanted?
