Presidential flag

In [kan56] the proportions are 2:3, and the miniature flag in the canton is the state flag, with the arms.
Mark Sensen, 11 Apr 1999

Album 2000 [pay00] shows a flag with the state flag (i.e. with coat of arms) in canton and yellow anchor in fly.

Plain cross canton

Canton shows no arms in the Album 1995 [pie90].
Ivan Sache, 11 Apr 1999

Incorrect report

The Album 1995 [pie90] gives the jack as a white ensign with the in canton (without arms) and yellow anchor in fly, which most sources show for the presidential flag, while it shows for the presidential flag what most sources show for the jack. Was it error in Album 1995?).

Previous presidential flags

Flag of the Generalissime

I suppose it was Trujillo, dictator from 1930 until his assassination in 1961.
Ivan Sache, 10 Apr 1999

Flag of the Generalissime: This is one of the five dominican naval flags in Flaggenbuch (1939-1941) [neu39]. (The others are war ensign and jack, civil ensign, flag of rear-admiral, head of a flotilla and admiral flag)
Ivan Sache, 10 Apr 1999

Admiral-in-Chief and Head of State

[car56] gives a flag of the Admiral-in-Chief and Head of State: royal blue with the national flag in the first quarter, in the fly 4 white stars placed two and two. I presume this flag replaced the Generalissime’s and was later replaced by the current presidential flag.
Mark Sensen, 13 Apr 1999

Supreme Court

Judicial Power, Dominican Rep. (Poder Judicial)
Blas Delgado Ortiz, 24 Jan 2002

Because it has the Libra emblem of justice, this could represent the Supreme Court, Corte Suprema.
Blas Delgado Ortiz, 28 Oct 2001

Police flag

Coat of arms and stars

In his work on police flags [lup93], Lupant gives two slightly different versions of that flag, on pp. 57-58, fig. 86 police flag (without arms citing Kannik [kan58]) and fig. 87 police flag without arms and without stars (citing private communication).
