Welcome to the Forum. You can trust that Doug is spot on about the uniform being NKGB. If he says something about uniforms, you can rest assured it is accurate. True, the Soviet Air Force used light-blue ("sky blue") for piping, collar tabs and accent colors, but the famous "corn silk blue" of the secret police from the KGB/FSB all the way back to the Cheka is reserved for them. I prefer to call it "royal blue" since I have no personal knowledge of blue corn silk.:) Lots of unscrupulous sellers on a certain auction site try to sell air force uniforms as KGB/NKVD items because they can get more money for them. It's a subtle difference in hue, and easily mixed up depending on the photograph or age of the material (exposure to sun, etc.), but a very important difference for collectors.
