M43 Air Force or KGB parade Uniform???

I am confused. Is this an M43 air force officers parade uniform with no wings on the shoulder boards? or is it KGB? Any help would be great.

Air Force - post 1948. Winged prop ciphers on the shoulder-boards indeed are absent, and seem never to been affixed to begin with... An occurrence that I have seen before.


See here for a general discussion about NKVD/NKGB/MVD/etc & etc parade uniforms: NKVD Lt Col - Absolutely Choice Tunic - The Soviet Military Awards Page Forum

Thanks Richie. Also what year did the Soviet Air Force switch to the open collar uniform? 49?

For officers of Armor and Air...

Soldiers and Sergeants stayed the same until 1956, and the Mundir was changed slightly - If I recall correctly.
