The flag of the United Arab Republic (Egypt and Syria) was
red-white-black with two green stars. Syria left in 1961, but Egypt
kept the UAR name and flag until the 1st
January 1972. Ironically Syria since went on to adopt her present
flag which is the same as the UAR's. And just to make things really
confusing, apparently the Iraqi red-white-black with three green
stars was introduced in 1963 for a proposed union of Egypt, Syria and
Iraq which never happened...

The 1965 World Book Encyclopedia reports this flag for
"UAR, including Egypt, Syria, and Iraq."

This is in fact the flag of Syria
before it joined the UAR and after it left it.

This pennant seems to be from the UAR Socialist Youth Organization from the
1960s - I found a document that uses the symbol at
