Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox military rank Air vice-marshal (abbreviated as AVM) is the third highest active rank of the Royal Australian Air Force and was created as a direct equivalent of the British Royal Air Force rank of air vice-marshal. It is also considered a two-star rank. The Australian Air Corps adopted the RAF rank system on 9 November 1920 and this usage was continued by its successor, the Royal Australian Air Force.[1]
Air vice-marshal is a higher rank than air commodore and is a lower rank than air marshal. Air vice-marshal is a direct equivalent of rear admiral in the Royal Australian Navy and major general in the Australian Army.
The insignia is one light blue band (on a slightly wider black band) over a light blue band on a black broad band.
The equivalent rank in the Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force,[2] was 'air chief commandant'.
