Air Force Flag
An Eagle and scroll are symbolized on the US Air Force. A meaningful alternative to some of the company’s other flags; it features the Air Force coat of arms, highlighted among an ultramarine blue background. The 13 white stars represent the original colonies, while the outstretched wings of the bald eagle frame three of these, representing the National Defense establishment’s three branches – the Army, Air Force, and Navy. The flag and symbol was approved in 1951 and remains the same today.
Both the eagle and the thunderbolt image on the shield represent the air power of the United States. The blue, yellow, and gold coloring is consistent with earlier Air Corps traditions and the transformation into the modern Air Force.
