Reed's Maritime Flags by Peter Johnson

The use of flags afloat and in most maritime situations is a complex and often misunderstood subject, needing to address legal aspects as well as etiquette, and often dictated by tradition, recognition and past naval usage. This book sets out to help the modern flag user, both ashore and afloat to 'get it right'.
