Five Star General - GOAF (General of the Air Force) this is reserved for wartime only. Four Star General - during peacetime this is the highest ranking officer in the Air Force. But if you're talking about highest officer rank that is NOT a General rank. It would be Colonel.

General

Although 4 star general is the highest rank currently available, the is a five star rank called General of The Air Force, but is a wartime grade only. A five star rank in the army, navy, or air force may only be appointed to when a declaration of war has been made by the congress.
