Marshal Of The Air Force Uniforms.

[DougD]

Hi KDVR,

Welcome to the forum. First, I am not sure why ribbons would be on the full parade uniform, and second, there were only a few Senior Air Marshals, so you should be able to nail down who it is by the ribbons if it is OK.

Lets see what Tretov has to say, he is usually best in this area.

I recall seeing the 1989 regulations book to show AF officers and generals with ribbons on the blue uniform as parade-walking out. I´ll confirm in a couple of weeks when I return to Santiago.

Happy New Year. :)

Indeed has the 1988 book pics of officers wearing the ribbons on the parade jacket as their parade-walkout jacket, but at least the regulations does not mention the marshal/general rank for this combo (they had their gray parade-walkout jackets). This does of course not mean that the combination did not exist - as we know there are indeed photos showing this combo was actually used also by the higher ranks.

In no regulations from 1969 to 1988 there's anything about parade jacket (blue for AF and wave green for GF) with ribbons - those were only for gray parade walking-out jacket. However, I have seen photographs of generals wearing their parade jackets as walking-out jackets, with ribbons instead of awards.
btw.: the regs can be found on: Ведомственная геральдика - Главная страница

Oops, sorry on that one! :( There´s a long time I don´t check the book.
