The Chief of Air Force (formerly Chief of Air Staff) flag is a vertical tricolour air force blue-dark blue-air force blue fimbriated red, with a gold wedge-tailed eagle overall. The colours are derived from triangular shoulder patches worn by members of the Australian Flying Corps during World War I.
The Chief of Air Staff formerly flew the RAAF Ensign.
