Russian Northern Fleet Aviation rank badges
Please - what 1941 rank is this? Two thick gold, one thin gold, gold star.
It's quoted as Major General. I dispute this. = Tim |

Looking through the photos it looks as though Maj Gen had one thick, one thin gold bar with a star over. One of the photos from the IWM. I think the two thin bars with star above was the Commissar. regards Mark |

Re: Russian Northern Fleet Aviation rank badges
Thank you both. Especially Maxim - a rare poster?
It may seem a little petty, but its all part of history, so may I persevere? 1. We have the 3 chaps in photo 1. All two broad & one thin ring? I have these quoted as Captain. 2. In photo 2 we have the Aide with three broad rings - Major? 3. And same photo - the General with one broader broad ring & one thin. So far so good? What would a Colonel be? = Tim |
