Flag of Aeroflot was red with small yellow star in canton and blue triangle near staff, with the emblem of the company in the centre of the triangle. I don’t know when this flag was adopted firstly. But Aviation Code of USSR (26 december 1961) already described it as «civil air fleet flag». The proportions:
This flag was used very rarely.

We should try to find out if the Pedersen image, showing
“realist” hammer, sickle and wings instead of the stylized
Aeroflot logo,
was an earlier version or simply an erroneous depiction.

A strange flag following Russian and
Soviet Air Force ensign pattern (blue and yellow
gyronny), with the Aeroflot logo and a red star. This was a real flag, shown
at eBay (an auction site), but it seems to be some kind of flag forgery for
tourists, as no law about it was passed — real Aeroflot flag(s) are quite
different.

I never saw it. I think it is a hand-made variant, informal. In the
end of 1980ths in Moscow many people had profitable business. They sold to
foreign tourists different things with soviet symbols: flags, banners, war
uniform, orders etc. I saw at that time several fiction selled flags.
