Flag Component: The flag piece consists of a rectangular tile featuring the distinct diagonal tricolor field associated with the ATS: a red upper-left section, a white diagonal center band, and a dark blue lower-right section. Centered prominently on the white diagonal is the original ATS insignia printed in dark blue, which depicts an eagle with spread wings perched atop a wheel with crossed elements. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures this specific and historic military-maritime design.

Hardware & Fit: The flag piece is firmly secured to a standard cylindrical black flagpole using two specialized black clip attachments. The diameter of the black pole is perfectly scaled to snap securely into the C-shaped hand of a standard building block character, allowing a figure to hold it as a unit standard bearer. (Note: The square black base plate shown at the bottom acts as a display stand and can be easily detached so the figure can actively carry the pole in your brick scenes).
Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the earlier, classic version of the Army Transport Service (ATS) Flag. The Army Transport Service was a critical component of the War Department, responsible for operating troopships and cargo vessels to transport American military personnel and logistical supplies across the globe. This specific version features the original blue eagle insignia, which was utilized before the ATS was absorbed into the newly formed United States Army Transportation Corps in 1942 during World War II. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic pre-war and early-WWII maritime logistics depots, military dockyards, or building block troopship dioramas.
