The last release of Album des Pavillons [pay00] does not show a specific flag for a pilot. Such a flag did exist in the past, as shown below.
c. 1917
The flag, shown in National Geographic [gmc17], was blue with a large white border and a thin white cross.
c. 1924
Webster's New International Dictionary [wbs24] showed the flag as blue with a large yellow border.
c. 1935
Flaggenbuch [neu92] shows a flag similar to the flag shown in National Geographic [gmc17], but with different proportion.
c. 1990
The flag shown in Album des Pavillons, edition 1995 [pie95] follows the same white cross / white border pattern, and has proportion 2:3.
The flag of a Port Captain was similar to a flag of a Pilot, but with an anchor in a circle placed in the middle of the flag.
