On 12 June I saw this flag on TV. At the centre of the flag is
the Air Force’s emblem — twoheads eagle with Órossed
propeller and sword.

This image was made assuming that the background is gyronny of 28 pieces,
being divided in equiangular “sectors” of approx. 13°. I further interpreted
the image as having four rays touching each of the two vertical edges of the
flag, which delivered the unusual ratio of ≅12:25 — or rather
1 : sin(2pi/7).

According to the
“Russian
Aviation Page” (image mirrored
here),
the new Russian Air Force flag features a double-headed eagle (as appeares
on the current Russian coat-of-arms) at the centre,
and this flag has no sun-disc.

On 12 June I saw this flag on TV. The emblem at the centre of the flag is
the Air Force’s emblem, not Russia’s coat-of-arms.

Since the end of the Soviet Union the Russian Air
Force retained the previous flag,
except that the hammer and sickle (but not the red star!)
was removed.

This is perhaps the first russian air ensign,
published in 1904 in the official Album Shtandartov
[bLv04]. It is the flag of the Aeronautic
Section of the Imperial Russian Navy, bearing the badge of that service,
an upright anchor with wings. In 1924, the Soviet Union adopted a similar
design for its Air Force.
Dave Martucci, 24 Nov 1999
The Aeronautic Flag/Ensign illustrated in the 1917 National
Geographic [gmc17], for use by Imperial
Russia was in use from 1894-1917. The same flag was used was used by both the
Army’s Aeronautic/Balloon Unit and the Imperial Russian Navy. Officially
the Russians classified it as a miscellaneous flag, making it the de
facto oldest single aeronautic flag used by nation’s un-combined
military and naval air forces.
