Album 2000 [pay00] shows a
white over blue bicolour with the national flag
(without coat of arms) in canton and the coat of
arms surrounded with five white stars in blue stripe.
The flag in canton does not reach to the lower blue stripe. Also, the
coat of arms in base is not transparent in its “inner part” but
white.

blue triangular pennant with white Greek cross (a la Swiss

I have found out that the Dominican Army flag has changed a bit.
Instead of five stars, the canton now has
the coat of arms in a white square inside the blue. Otherwise the
flag remains the same. Source: the official Dominican Army website,
www.ejercito.rd.mil.do
(Warning: there is an image on the website of an “Army
Flag” with the arms at the centre of
the flag. This is completely wrong.)

According to Preben Kannik’s Alverdens Flag I Farver
[kan56], the green stripe
represents the infantry, the white stripe the
air force, the red stripe the artillery,
and the yellow stripe the cavalry. Only used together with
the national flag.
According to [ped80], the
state flag is used as flag of
the army, but [bcr81] still
shows this one as the Army flag.

“Quartered” disc, blue-red-blue-red, with superimposed
a white cross and a white circular band (looks like the
aiming of a firearm).

In the early 90’ies a low visability version was adopted.

Album 2000 [pay00] says in
a note that national flag is painted on the fin.

The current fin flash is in use since 1948. It
replaced the 1933 full rudder fin flash, which looked
like a vertically streched national
flag; its measures were according to the rudder
of each and every plane, so we can’t speak on fix ratio
here.
