Naval Ensign

image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 29 October 2007

It is a blue over red horizontal bicolour with a white rectangle in the centre, containing the coat of arms. It is denoted as a war-flag. The flag is depicted in the ALBUM on p.16, image no.314. According to Flaggenbuch its ratio is 17:27(measured by myself).
The flag must have been used in the 1930' and perhaps also in the 1920'.
Within the coat of arms one can clearly recognize a coastal line behind the sea and the sunk ships on both sides having two masts with white flags.

As there is no true army in Haiti anymore, there may be no longer be a jack.

Pilot Flag

It is a plain blue flag with a white rectangle in its centre. The flag is depicted in the ALBUM on p.16, image no.316. Flaggenbuch implicitely denies the existence of a special pilot flag, saying on p.78, that the pilot used the trade flag, a simple blue over red horizontal bicolour. If a special pilot flag had existed, it must have been used before 1939.
