This is the former flag of Det Danske Luftfartselskabt, one of the predecessors of SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System). In use 1930s - 1940s.

The emblem seems similar to that of Det Norske. Is this coincidence, or was there a shared history as well as a shared future?
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 07 March 2015

It depends on how we define coincidence. Many airlines of that era, particularly European ones, used as their logos variants of a flying bird, often inside a circle.
