    Picked up a Japanese WWII manufacture aircraft flag?

    Hello Everyone,

    I've been collecting Japanese flags for the past years and since stopped for awhile and I started to collecting it back recent days.

    WOuld like to have more information about this flag
    as I already done some digging

    七尾航空機株式会社 = Nanao Aircraft Co., Ltd.
    and a pond looking at the Company history,

    https://www.eizo.co.jp/company/information/history/

    besides that,
    Nanao, Ishikawa (七尾市), a city in Japan

    other in depth research would be well appreciated.

    Apparently Mr. Izumi was well thought of. (1) This flag is signed by the corporation president and four senior managers; (2) he's off to be an officer.

      Hey Guy,

      Appreciated your work in sharing more details for the flag.
      Purchasing this flag at first glance by noticing this 2 word "航空" was thinking its a pilot or so...

      but after your reply, I think not...

      Oh well... at least its related to some sort.

      Thank you for your help and keep it up with your passion by helping others...
      God Bless...

        It's a bonafide WWII-era genuine, non-SeeBee-produced, AUTHENTIC yosegaki flag!



        Cheers,
        -- Guy
