AHAXdsomKly bound voi/umE of 150 pages, containing 1,200 flags in their 1 full color's, 300 

 illustrations in black and white, the complete insignia of the uniformed forces of the 

 United States, the international flags in use on land and sea, together with an epitomized 

 history of each flag, and an authoritative history of the ''Star Spangled Banner." In this book 

 there are published for the first time the flags of each of the forty-eight United States in full 

 colors arid with complete descriptions based on original research and approved by the State 

 officials. 



The Federal Government put all of its resources at the command of the National Geographic Society in 

 order to insure the correct reproduction of every military and naval flag in its proper design and coloring. 

 The same cooperation was given by the Embassies and Legations of all the friendly countries represented. 

 No complete collection of Pan American flags hitherto published has been correct, and the same is true of 

 Asiatic flags. m ' . . 



This flag book is as authoritative as an official report, as delightful as fine fiction, and as beautifully 

 illustrated as a gem of the printing art can be. Bound in stiff royal buckram, it is being placed in thousands 

 of home libraries and is a gift par excellence. r ' 



Our military and naval forces find "Flags of the World" extremely useful, containing, as it does, the 

 most complete and recent information on the important subject of flags and signals. Every soldier and 

 sailor is glad to have one of these books, and to make them most suitable for this purpose a special edition 

 has been printed on water-proof paper and bound in a FLEXIBLE KHAKI cover, which will stand the wear 

 and tear of every-day use in the field or on board ship. This is a gift your boy in his country's service will 

 appreciate.
