From Wikipedia:
"The flag of the Yugoslavia consisted of three equal horizontal bands colored in pan-Slavic colors, blue (top), white and red, with a yellow-bordered red star at the flag's center. The last Yugoslav national flag, used 1945-1992, was adopted during World War II as a modification of the flag that represented the wartime Yugoslav state (used 1943-1945) and was used by the resistance, the Partisans. The changes mostly affected the red star in the center: it was enlarged, its shape was changed, and its borders were outlined in yellow."

As I understand it, the Yugoslavia flag without the star is from pre WWII. One of my favorite parts to TBCB is learning stuff like this. Before I tried to learn about Mate Parlov and Marijan Benes for my 1980's+ Universe I knew next to nothing about Yugoslavia and the countries that it became. Without TBCB I'd still know nothing about that area.

As for downloading flags, what's worked for me is clicking on the flag and "save image as". Then putting it in the images folder marked flag. For some reason flags seem to need to be in png format, while for fighter photos it has to be jpg. I'm not sure what the difference is. Maybe size?
