Here is the Air Marshals Victory Parade uniform worn by Voroshekin. We were able to get it from his relatives back in 1998. Note that air marshals wore light blue collar and cuffs; this means you could not simply ad air marshals boards to an air generals VP uniform to upgarde its rank.
most of these air marshals were members of the red army early on who had administrative backgrounds that the new service needed. Some took some basic flight training while others did not. It was really the postwar high command of the air force that was dominated more by men with flight backgrounds.
Also, I don't thin any of the regular air marshals were HSU's. Most had high command orders though; I know that Voroshekin had 2 Suvorov 1st class orders.
