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.

According to Flaggenbuch [neu92], the Air Force ensign, without the crown in the first quarter, was the civil air ensign as well.

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.

According to Flaggenbuch [neu92], the flag of the Commander of the Civil Air Force was a square white flag with a blue saltire and a white blue roundel in the middle. The number "II", in black, was placed in the first quarter.
