Album 1995 [pie95] says ratio is 
≅5:7 and shows a blue flag with the emblem of the Navy in the middle and 
thin yellow orle (line near the border). The naval emblem consists of the 
shield of the national coat of arms infront of the two 
crossed anchors, at the top the Sun and above all a ribbon with inscription 
«MARINA DE GUERRA DEL PERU». This flag may be 
still in use; it is not included in Album 2000 
[pay00] as it does not comes into its 
scope.

It’s depicted in a book about the Peruvian 
Navy, El Mar de Grau y la Marina de Guerra del Peru 
[pcy87], of 1987. How likely 
that it is still in use?

I received already infos from Peru, including the flag of the Navy. 
Unfortunately those infos will be available in my Bulletin 
[frp] only in 2001 (next millenium).

The main difference is the color of the anchors — yellow in 
[pie95], white in this version. The rest 
is mainly issues of detail depiction, for the emblem. Flagwise the ratio 
difference may be relevant: ≅5:7 vs. 2:3.

According to Album 2000 [pay00], 
1:1 white flag with red border and the coat of arms 
in the middle. The border is shown as wide 1/10 of the hoist (cf. 
1/6 in Flaggenbuch 
[neu39]). The height of the emblem is about 
1/3 of hoist 
(cf. Flaggenbuch [neu39] 
about 1/2).

Same as the one on the Album 2000 
[pay00] but for the measures 
of the border, being 1/6 of the hoist, and the height of the 
emblem, being 1/2 of the hoist.

National Geographic 1917 Flag Number 
[gmc17] #672 
shows the jack as same as Flaggenbuch.

Album 2000 [pay00] says ratio 
is ≅2:9 and shows a white triangular pennant with wide red border around 
all edges and in the middle a black horizontally set anchor. This is 
totally didferent to any other previous source, 
and therefore probably rather new.
Željko Heimer, 31 Oct 2002

Album 1995 [pie95] shows a ≅1:7 
triangular pennant vertically divided in red-white-red with a black horizontal 
anchor in the middle. This is a “transitional version” 
between the 1917 and 1939 on one side and 
2000 on the other. There is at least small question of 
validity.

Flaggenbuch [neu39] shows a ≅1:20
triangular pennant vertically divided in red-white-red. The hoist size of the 
pennant is given as 9, but no other unit is shown. Oddly. Maybe only the hoist 
size is prescribed and length might be different, but I don’t think 
that Neubecker means here 9 cm, since otherwise when he gives absolute units 
he always write "cm" beside the number.

National Geographic 1917 Flag Number [gmc17] says:
669. Commision Pennant.
Same as Flaggenbuch (≅1:20).

The Album 2000 [pay00] says 
that the Navy Aircraft Marking is the Civil flag 
on fin. (Identical to the Airforce Aircraft 
Marking.)

Book [c2e98] shows this marking.

Book [whe86] shows a regular 
flash but charged with anchor on white stripe (as seen also at 
this 
WAF page). (This photo at the 
Scramble.NL 
website shows a fin flash but it too small for being charged with an 
anchor.)

Red white red roundel with black anchor overall (but under 
two central disks), according to the Album 2000 
[pay00]. (Based on the 
Airforce Aircraft roundel.)

Books [c2e98] and
