![[Royal Netherlands Air Force]](../images/n/nl^klu.gif)
by Mark Sensen, 28 June 1997, revised by Miles Li, 22 Aug
2005
A flag for the Air Force was adopted only in 1948 (when it was still
part of the Royal Netherlands Army as Military Aviation), revised in 1964.
Also this flag is used as a flag next to the national flag, not instead
of it.
Note that the Military Aviation of the Royal Netherlands Army wasn't
active in the Netherlands Indies. The Military Aviation of the KNIL (Royal
Netherlands Indies Army) was, which never had a flag.
BTW, both sections merged when the KNIL was dissolved in the early
1950's after Indonesia became independent.

I have corrected the blue colour.
