Air Force ensign - Images by Miles Li & Joe McMillan, 25 November 2008
Left, correct version;
Right, erroneous version shown in Flaggenbuch
[neu92]
The Air Force ensign was blue with a white cross, a yellow crown
inside a white ring in canton and a blue-white-blue roundel in the
middle. The Air Force ensign as shown in Flaggenbuch
[neu92] did not have the white ring
around the crown, which is one of the few possible errors of
Flaggenbuch.
The adoption date of the flags used by the Royal Hellenic Air Force is unknown. Their use was most probably suppressed during the First Republic (1924-1935). They were abolished in 1970.

Air Force pennant - Image by Miles Li, 11 December 2019
Left, correct version;The Air Force pennant was a long triangular flag with seven vertical
stripes (four blue, three white) of equal span, and with a white Greek
cross near the hoist. Flaggenbuch shows it with the
proportions of 1:12, although in reality it was probably 1:40, the
same as the naval pennant at the time (photo).

The flag of the Ministry of the Air Force was a square version of the Air Force ensign. The Air Force ensign as shown in Flaggenbuch [neu92] did not have the white ring around the crown, which is one of the few possible errors of Flaggenbuch.
