The cap is that of an Air Force Colonel; the cap insignia with two rows of leaves around the seal would be correct for ranks Lieutenant through Colonel, but the leaves on the visor make it a Colonel's cap. Insofar as I am able to determine, there were no "branch" colours in the aviation service, so the medium blue colour with the lighter blue piping was standard throughout that branch of service.
