Which insignia represents the rank of Captain?

In the Air Force, officer rank is shown by insignia on the uniform. Captain is represented by two parallel bars. These bars are silver and distinguish Captain from other ranks: a single bar indicates First Lieutenant, a gold oak leaf is Major, a silver oak leaf is Lieutenant Colonel, a silver eagle is Colonel, and a general is shown by a star. So the two parallel bars uniquely identify the Captain rank.
