tigerfan Posted January 12, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 12, 2018 Acquired yesterday direct from a trunk in the attic were these four flags all rolled together. Has anyone seen the one with the circles and red star? I assume it is some sort of relative or son in service flag or? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratasfan Posted January 12, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 12, 2018 Super fun! thanks for sharing! Never seen one with the "target" look before. Are these WWII or newer? What kind of fabric are they? I've never seen an older one, and wondered. Would love to get one one day or try and make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted January 12, 2018 Share #3 Posted January 12, 2018 The "target" appears to be based on the US Army Air Service roundel: http://wwiisquadronpatches.com/NationalInsigniaHistoryUSAircraft.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerfan Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted January 12, 2018 The 2 and 3 star flags are WWII era, the large 1 star is WWI era and I believe the unusual 1 star is also WWI era. There were remnants of five different people in this family having served in the military. One was an officer in the pioneer inf., one in the air corps WWI era, two in the air corps WWII era and one in the navy WWII era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted January 13, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 13, 2018 The circle one is very unusual, even for one of the "non-infringing" designs. Never saw that before. Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge8 Posted January 13, 2018 Share #6 Posted January 13, 2018 For future reference, what are the dimensions on these, please? Thanks, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
