Bob Lyons Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 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 Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Here is a very rare vehicle pennant, currently for sale on the web, with 'The Ruptured Duck' in the US. (Mr. Bill Shea). Luftwaffe Commanding General of an Air Fleet’s Vehicle Flag [Kommandoflagge für den Chef einer Luftflotte] Missing it's foul weather cover, but a very rare piece......

Bob Lyons Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 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. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
