2:3 | stripes 1+1+2+1+1
by Željko Heimer
Flag adopted 1785, abolished 1927
See also:
The Spanish civil ensign from 1785 to shortly before 1931 was a yellow field with narrow red stripes near the top and bottom. It was essentially five stripes of yellow, red, yellow, red, yellow in proportions 1:1:2:1:1.
Nick Artimovich, 10 April 1996
National Geographic 1917 shows a jack in the yellow-red-yellow-red-yellow 1+1+2+1+1 pattern, thus equal to the merchant flag shown above.
Željko Heimer, 6 August 2001
This is a mistake in National Geographic 1917 since until 1945 the naval jack was the same as the war ensign and merchant ships had no jack.
