While it seems to be shorter than the national flag, but longer than the flag of the National Guard or of the Coast Guard, I created it with a 2:3 ratio.

National markings on planes

Força Aérea Caboverdiana (formed 1982 — 6 cargo and light planes) and Guarda Costeira de Cabo Verde (with 1 plane); the book [cos98] reports a national flag as fin flash (changed as the flag changed in 1992). See on line photos with old and new markings, and the coast guard’s only plane with the flag-fin flash.

At the official web site, the emblem of the Civil Defense of Cape Verde, almost identical to the Portuguese one, including the basic design of a blue triangle on orange, as prescribed by the Geneva Convention. I could not find any mention to a flag, though, nor shown nor described.
