FRANZ L. NIMTZ.

Massary 1930 and Lloyd Reedereiflaggen 1933 show white with narrow blue horizontal stripes near the top and bottom and blue FLN between.

Brown 1934 gives a blue-white-blue horizontal triband with black FLN. The white stripe is slightly wider and the letters are large and broad.

Talbot-Booth’s 1937–44 versions follow the wider-white-stripe arrangement but use a different, ornate letterform. Jordan’s red rather than blue funnel bands are treated by Rosanoski as an error.

Brown 1943 makes the flag stripes equal and the black letters smaller and closer together.

Esso and Flaggen & Schornsteine use ornate lettering, but the letters are black. Rosanoski identifies FOTW’s N608 portrayal as incorrect against its stated source, whose black lettering also appears in the 1957 and 1958 editions and Stewart 1963.

The US Navy version makes the white stripe wider still.
