Summary

Description

Suomi:

Suomen ilmavoimien joukko-osastoliput ovat kaikki saman kaavan mukaisia. Niiden suunnittelusta vastasi Olavi Seeve ja viimeistelystä Olof Eriksson. Koboltinsininen lippupohja viittaa ilmavoimien siniseen väriin. Päätunnuksena on Akseli Gallen-Kallelan piirtämä valkoinen siipikehä (kiertosuunta vastapäivään käännettynä), joka ympyröi mustaa hakaristiä.

Ilmasotakoulun lippu eroaa muista Ilmavoimien joukko-osastolipuista ainoastaan yläkulman joukko-osastotunnuksen osalta: siipipari, jonka keskellä on hakaristi ja potkuri. Lippu on vahvistettu 8.11.1957 ja vihitty käyttöön 4.6.1958. Lipun koko on 120 x 142 cm. Tasavallan presidentti Puolustusvoimien ylipäällikkönä ja Vapaudenristin ritarikunnan suurmestarina antoi puolustushaarakoululle 4. luokan Vapaudenristin 10.12.1987, joka tuli lippusalon pään kuvioksi alapuolellaan kunniamerkin nauha.
