That flag could strategically be hanging rather than being straight out like the others. I've seen it done elsewhere...

Just as a bit of trivia, the flag depicted is a 50 star U.S. flag. During WW2 Alaska and Hawaii were still territories, so the U.S. flag for all of WW2 was the 48 star version.

And, yes, there are plenty of workarounds for the dreaded swastika flag, ranging from having the flag folded to just turning the swastika into a cross or leaving the central white roundel of the the Nazi flag blank.

I hadn't thought of that... interesting! Yes many flags have changed so historically accurate would be key IMHO. I was just looking up what the Canadian flag looked like at the time. Very different than the maple leaf that we have now.

Another wish urges up for later ....
To have a switch to FMB button out of the Single missions Mode to change settings and a text editor window editing mis file from the inside (pushing waypoints out of the borders or so)

WW2-era RCAF flag. 1st use of the "maple leaf roundel" that I know of:

WW2-era Canadian Flag:

Changing from this flag to the Maple Leaf caused a big stink at the time, if you can believe it. (IMO, the new flag is much more distinctive and attractive.)

Those are both interesting from a history point of view but thank goodness for the new one
