Note: the same flag appears as
presidential flag
in Flaggenbuch (1939-1941)
[neu92].

The flag once used as presidential apparently
remained in use as the “military authorities”’ flag, after
the distinctive presidential flag was introduced.
What exactly were (are) those authorities, and how this flag was used (ensign,
signal flag, rank flag?), it is not clear to me. As for other flags, I question
if the flag is used currently.

Encyclopaedia Universalis Yearbook 1998 says:
Officially, all armed forces were disbanded in February 1997. The 10 000 members of the ECOMOG peace-keeping force shall withdraw in February 1998.Ivan Sache, 10 May 2002
Jaume Olle informed me about yet another flag from Liberia, but what he has
is only a photo that does not allow for reconstruction. The flag is blue with
somekind of seal in the middle. Jaume names it the Legislature flag. Who can
provide more information?

Roundel of red white and blue with white star in the middle and square
“wings” of red - white - blue - white - red. Obviously, it was
patterned after the US marking, just as the flag was
some century and half earlier. [cos98] claims
that the air units of Liberian army were formed in 1976, and used the
flag as the marking, and that the current pattern was
introduced in 1986.

Liberian Army Air Reconnaissance Unit was formed in 1976 and, according
to WorldAirForces.com,
got no machines since 1994. This roundel is most probably obsolete.
