It is a blue over red horizontal bicolour with a white
rectangle in the centre, containing the coat of arms. It is
denoted as a war-flag. The flag is depicted in the ALBUM on p.16,
image no.314. According to Flaggenbuch its ratio is
17:27(measured by myself).
The flag must have been used in the 1930' and perhaps also in the
1920'.
Within the coat of arms one can clearly recognize a coastal line
behind the sea and the sunk ships on both sides having two masts
with white flags.

Here is the flag or "ensign" of the Haitian Coast
Guard.
The legend reads: "République d'Haïti" and
"Toujours Pręts" (which, like the USCG motto
"Semper Paratus", means "always ready").

I suppose that like the US Coast Guard
"ensign", the flag is actually not used as a
national ensign on ships, but rather as an additional flag
hoisted on the ship 8and also used on land on their premises and
in offices).
Is this still used today?

It seems that it is not in use I find a photo
in which a flag is
painted on the wall of Haitian Coast Guard Station
Port-au-Prince. I don't know it it is the national flag or the
national colors with the emblem of the "Garda Cote".
There is a flag on the boats but I think that it is the Naval Ensign.

As there is no true army in Haiti anymore, there may be no

Pavillons Nationaux et Marques Distinctives [pay00] shows the masthead pennant

According to Album 2000 [pay00]
- Masthead Pennant. Blue over
red long triangular pennant, in Album shown in ratio
1:11.5~, but this is probably not prescribed.

It is a plain blue flag with a white rectangle in its centre.
The flag is depicted in the ALBUM on p.16, image no.316.
Flaggenbuch implicitely denies the existence of a special pilot
flag, saying on p.78, that the pilot used the trade flag, a
simple blue over red horizontal bicolour. If a special pilot flag
had existed, it must have been used before 1939.
