Interesting Soviet Pilot Uniform!
Nice matching hat:
There are two whip-stitched holes for screw-back awards over the left breast pocket. The "shadow/impression" on the inside lead me to believe this pilot may have worn a Halhingol and Red Banner.
The really interesting point is the sleeve insignia is an actual, per-regulation, silk device. As opposed to the more often encountered, non-regulation bullion patches!
