Air Force Ensign

 [Air Force Ensign] by Oskar Myszor

Taken straight from Flaggenbuch. The colour red should be 'national flag' red, not crimson.

Air Force General

[Air force General] by Zeljko Heimer

Proportions: 3:5

Blue flag with Air Force emblem in the upper middle and three white five-pointed stars in line near the bottom. The complicated consturction sheet provided in Flaggenbuch (using hoist size as 252 units) could be described in words much easier: center of the AF emblem is 1/3 of the hoist from top in the center of the length. The disk is 1/21 of hoist and total height of the emblem is 9 times that size. The wing span is 1/3 of hoist (measured from the center of the emblem), so the whole emblem is 2/3 of the hoist long. The wings height is 1/7 of the hoist. The stars are centered on a line halving the stripe between the bottom of the emblem and the bottom of the flag, the diameter of the stars is also that half stripe. The distance between the hoist, the centers of the stars and the fly are equal, i.e. 1/4 of the length each. Also, in Flaggenbuch is indicated that the size of these flags is either 90x150 cm or 120x200 cm.

Air Force Lieutenant General

[Air Force Lt. General] by Zeljko Heimer

Proportions: 3:5

Blue flag with the AIr Force emblem in the middle off-set to top and two white five-pointed stars in lower part.

The construction is analogous to the 3-star General flag, with the difference in stars, of course. Here also, the distance between the hoist and the ccenter of the first star is equal to the distance between the centers of the stars and that is in turn equal to the distance between the center of the second star and the fly.

Air Force Major General

[Air Force Major General] by Zeljko Heimer

Proportions: 3:5

Blue flag with the Air Force emblem in the middle off-set to top and a white five-pointed star below it. The construction is entirely equal to the 3-star General flag without the two outer stars.

Air Force Colonel

[Air Force Colonel] by Zeljko Heimer

Proportions: 3:5

Triangular pennant with the Air Force emblem in the hoist and three white five-pointed stars in line in the fly. The emblem span (from center) is 1/3 of the hoist, and adequate height as in the higher ranks flags (9/21). The distance of the vertical axis from hoist is at odd distance of 71/336 of the total length. The remaining 265/336 is measure on which stars are referenced, let's call that length A. The stars are inscribed in circle of diameter A/8, the central star is at the half of the length A, and center of the other two are A/6 on either direction.

Air Force Lieutenant Colonel

[Air Force Lt. Colonel] by Zeljko Heimer

Proportions: 3:5

Triiangular pennant with the Air Force emblem in the hoist and two white five-pointed stars in line in the fly. Same construction as above, however the stars here are somewhat larger, as they are inscribed in circle with diameter 2A/15. Distance between the two circle centers is A/5, twive that length from the center of the AF emblem to the hoistmost star.

Air Force Major

[Air Force Lt. Major] by Zeljko Heimer

Propotions: 3:5

Triangular pennant with the Air Force emblem in the hoist and a single white five-pointed star in the fly. The construction is equal to the Colonel's pennant, retaining only the central star.

Air Force Captain

[Air Force Lt. General] by Zeljko Heimer

Proportions: 3:5

Blue triangular pennant with white Air Force emblem. Again the emblem wing span is 1/3 of the hoist with all other elements relatively adequate. The center point of the emblem (center of the small disk) is at the top of the isoscales triangle with sides equal 5/6 of the hoist and the base at hoist (which is to say that with help of some geometry that the vertical axis of the emblem is 2/3 of the hoist from it).
