This embroidered rank tab represents the Captain (상위 / Sangwi) rank of the Korean Peoples Army Air Force configured in the simplified horizontal format used on operational and flight uniforms. The design features three white five-point stars aligned horizontally across a blue field with a light blue center stripe, reflecting the Air Force branch color. This style corresponds to chest-mounted rank tabs observed on DPRK aviation flight suits rather than formal parade shoulder boards.

Historical Context
In the Korean People’s Army Air and Anti-Air Force, officer ranks are commonly displayed in simplified formats on operational and aviation uniforms. Unlike ceremonial shoulder boards, flight suits often use horizontal chest tabs with minimal ornamentation for quick visual rank identification. Three stars denote the rank of Sangwi (Captain), a junior officer grade, with light blue elements indicating Air Force affiliation. This configuration has been documented in official DPRK state media imagery featuring Air Force pilots and aviation personnel.
