According to Moussault's lexicon van vlaggen en wapens
by Christian Fogd Pederson (1980) [ped80] there are several air force flags
containing roundels. All have the same pattern - having a light blue field with the national flag in the canton
and the air force roundel in the fly. These flags are based on the
British Royal Air Force ensign.

According to The Complete Guide to Flags by William Crampton (1989) [cra89],
"Like many nations, the Sudanese Air Force Ensign seems to have been inspired by the British Royal Air Force Ensign. It follows the 'traditional' form of a light blue field with the national flag in the canton and the air force roundel in the fly."
