Air Force flag and civil air ensign

[Air Force flag]by Zeljko Heimer

The Air Force flag and civil ensign is a blue flag with a white cross throughout and the aircraft roundel set in the middle of the cross.

This flag is no longer shown in the last release of Album des Pavillons [pay00] and might therefore be obsolete.

As for the civil air ensign, back in the 1950s all Olympic Airways aircrafts had it painted on the fuselage just behind and above the cockpit. The roundel on the flag soon disappeared from the aircrafts, leaving a plain Greek land flag. Later this flag was rerendered into a triangular form, which essentially remains the same today.
