This is a history of the flags flown at sea by the principal naval powers: Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain and the USA, during the Age of Sail. The subject is one that has been obscured by curious myths and misunderstandings about where, when and why certain flags, like the piratical 'Jolly Roger', were flown, and this book's narrative aims to unravel these issues. It also tackles such apparently complicated issues as signalling in peace and war. The book also contains a profusion of illustrations, covering the many variants of well-known flags, in both contemporary flag-charts and modern drawings done specially for this work. It therefore provides the degree of detail demanded by modelmakers, artists and historians.
