Description

Flaggenbuch 1939 shows an Arab Legion flag which is exactly as the current Jordan army flag, but the emblem is smaller and in the lower fly.

The construction sheet in Flaggenbuch 1939 shows 40 cm for the vertical dimension of the flag, and 60 cm for the length of the oblique edge of the flag — not its horizontal dimension. Therefore, the horizontal/vertical proportion is the square root of 2, ca. 1,4142.
