I dont recall the U.S.A.F. ever having a uniform with standing collar

WWI Army Air Corps...
The standing collar from the WW I tunic was worn by U.S. ARMYAir Service personell in the last 7 months of WWI.

The U.S.A.F. adapted U.S. Army uniforms (including the AF Blue Ike jacket) from 1949 to about 1964, when it adopted the "Bus Drivers" Dress Uniform.
