Note by editor: Special thanks to Zach Harden for helping to keep the quality of the following images within the FOTW standards.See:
In 1897 it was adopted a square flag for pilots after
the "P" flaf of the International Signal Code. This flag flew until 1911.
The following year a new Ordinance came into effect; this stated that
flags were proportioned 2:3. I do ingnore the period
this flag was used, but, any way the 19-Oct-2000-decree abolished it
officially.
On January 1, 1954, by international agreement a new International Code of Signals came into
effect. According to this agreement the Pilot's flag is divided into six yellow and
blue vertical stripes.

The pilot/practice flag was that of the "S" according the International
Signal Code. The flag shall be proportioned 2:3.
