Pretty sure the Belgian Congo one from 1949 is just eyes playing tricks on you. I see it blowing the proper direction looking at it immediately. If I stare hard enough, I can see the perception of it being backwards, however.
Fun read though!
- ygra 10y agoI'm not sure there is a perception issue if one flag is waving backwards, and the other three forwards. Wind doesn't really work that way (at least not within a few meters of height). The sails also indicate that the wind is coming from behind, which makes the flag at the stern impossible.
- joeskyyy 10y agoAh! I just saw what was being pointed out. The focus of the picture made it seem like it was the top sail of the middle mast, not the flag at the stern. :D
