Nice boards. I like this version.

FYI, I believe that the insignia means that he was air force "technical" personnel as opposed to aviation—so a mechanic, etc.

Nack,
You are right. They are to a technical branch which is exactly what my researched Colonel was. I am very happy with this pair!!!

Did AF technical folks not go to acadamies, and therefore not wear academy badges? I just picked up a 70s-80s? AF technical branch cpt service uniform (1-piece buttons w/o date) that has lots of wear, but no hole where an academy badge would have been. Whats the deal?

Nack,
I just pulled up the service record for Colonel Fedorov. He started out as a Cadet, Courses of Jr. Lieutenants, 1st Red Army at the start of his career. I would imagine that there would not have been a badge.
He had no badge
:confused: Doc

Riley is right--no reason to expect that an Army or Air Force captain had attended an academy yet. Now, if you found a colonel's uniform that was like that, or a Navy captain's, that would be a whole different story. But an Army captain could have advanced from platoon to company commander without academy training.
