According to _Moussault's lexicon van vlaggen en wapens_by Christian Fogd Pederson (1980)[ped80] there are several air force flags containing roundels. All have the same pattern - having a light blue field with the national flag in the canton and the air force roundel in the fly. These flags are based on theBritish Royal Air Force ensign.
Mark Sensen, 22 June 1997
According to The Complete Guide to Flags by William Crampton (1989) [" title="null" rel="noopener noreferrer">cra89], "Like many nations, the Sudanese Air Force Ensign seems to have been inspired by the British Royal Air Force Ensign. It follows the 'traditional' form of a light blue field with the national flag in the canton and the air force roundel in the fly."
