I visited the Kuwait Marine Museum on Apr 18th 2009, took some flag photos and bought a book titled "Kuwait's Age of Sail," published in 1993 and showing some flag pictures.

Similar to the 1956 version by Jaume Ollé, with the same basic elements but differently proportioned and with the addition of two white stripes.

The 1956 personal flag of the Kuwaiti Emir has a red field, with in the hoist vertical white shahada, and in the fly a big white Arabic writing. I have here a young Kuwaiti midshipman who recognised this as historically correct; the writing means "Kuwait."

Armand Noël du Payrat, 24 Nov 1998

The word "Kuwait" and a vertical inscription next to a white vertical panel.
