Luftwaffe Luftwaffe vehicle pennants

[Bob Lyons]

Hi Shane,

Your flag is supposed to represent the command flag of the 'State Secretary of Avaition, and General Inspector of the Luftwaffe', and as such is a very rare flag,

but if I were you, I would get some more qualified opinion on your example, it isn't giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling I'm afraid.

Your friend from Wright's in the city, Michael S, says hello to you too ! (he lives around the corner from me).

Best wishes

Here is a very rare vehicle pennant, currently for sale on the web, with 'The Ruptured Duck' in the US. (Mr. Bill Shea).

Missing it's foul weather cover, but a very rare piece......

and another one with some history behind it, this is for a Commanding Gerneral and Commanding General of an Air District Command flag.

This was taken from the vehicle of General Plocher, when he surrendered to the Canadians in Holland on the 8th of May 1945.

As always, Bob, that's such a sad and bad collection you should just pack it all up and send it to me so you won't have to look at it anymore! :love:

[Bob Lyons]

Aaaah, Mr Harrier Sir, truly you are a gentleman !
