Yes, yes you can be wrong.
Unfortunately, even when they did fly them, the flags were not behemoth warship sized flags; certainly not the 8' x 13' example above!
They were standard 3' x 5' flags, not unlike this...
Also have a look at a copy of the VII plans here...

More photos (quite a lot, some show flags and/or pennants) here...

So the flag size needs to be at least half of the current size. But then, IMHO, considering everything else, what's it matter.
PS: Let me state that none of this is anything revolutionary or new. I must admit that I find racerboy's continued fanfare and trumpeting over something that's already been done by others quite humourous. :rotfl:
