New Flags

The Soviet Navy, Commercial Fleet, Air Force and Coast Guards have new flags.

The Navy flag has a red field with a white circle in the centre, from which radiate eight white rays, two perpendicular, two horizontal, four diagonal. Inside the circle is a large five-pointed red star upon which is emblazoned a hammer and sickle in white.

The Commercial Fleet flag is all red except for a white square in the upper left-hand corner bearing the hammer and sickle in red.

The Air Force flag is bright blue, with a yellow circle a little above the centre, from which radiate twelve yellow rays. Within the circle is a red star upon which is superimposed a white hammer and sickle. Below the circle is a pair of black wings and a yellow propeller.
