LETH & CO.
image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 19 Sep 2010
The flag is white with a black diagonal band from upper hoist to lower fly and a white disc edged black containing a red L. Rosanoski’s illustration follows German sources; his commentary says Brown reverses the design and changes the letter when assigning it to Eberhardt. Schneider dates the L flag to 1939.
Stewart’s L101 has a straight L; Brown’s L100 has its spine leaning towards the fly.
Mitchell’s Portsmouth observation in March 1980 gives blue rather than black for the funnel flag markings.
L489 is retained from the marcollect sources.
