    Flag Translation Needed

    I've always been interested in having this flag translated. I dug it out while looking for items for a VE-VD display at a local museum. I appreciate any help!!!

    imo, a flag done up by a westerner, possibly a "seabee special". Not too bad either when compared to other GI created flags.

      So it's gibberish then? Something like "Eat At Hikaru's"?

      Did the sailors and/or marines make these up to sell to air corps guys who didn't know any better?

        100% correct -- this is a "Seabee Special."

          It more likely says "gio Thaoc for the Mnorkory" pure gibberish. I notice some characters that have been partially copied from Japanese, but you can't read it.

          A picture is worth a thousand words:

            I'm disappointed. I will have this flag destroyed since it's fake. Thanks for your input!

              No! Don't destroy it !!!!! It is still part of WWII history and would be a great display next to an authentic flag.
