The three pips and the single stripe indicate a captains rank. He wears the royal air force badge on his visor and the pilot badge on his right breast. This uniform would have been a medium blue color. Note the square pocket flaps with the pleats.
This is an extremely rare photograph as there were very few Royal Yugoslavian Naval Aviators and even fewer observers. This formal portrait of this Lieutenant shows him in his full dress uniform with boards, black tie and sword. The naval observer badge is on his left breast.
These two photos show quite well the cut and insignia of the Royal Yugoslavian service dress uniform right before WWII. The large cipher on the cap is the double headed eagle and the Cyrillic cipher of Peter the II. The service tunic is quite simple and modern with straight flap pleated pockets, four narrowly spaced buttons and no belligerent is indicated by both the shoulder boards and the cuff rank braid.
This is a very early uniform, probably from the 20s as the collar is so high. Very much in the Austro-Hungarian style.
He has a single rank pip and regimental device on his shoulder boards. He wears an Observer wing.
He wears flight gear that was common to all countries in the early 1930's.
The photo is dated 1935. He wears a pilot badge.
This summer dress is more informal in cut and is probably from the late 1930s.
