This being Flag Day and all, you'd be flying a 48-star flag which was the one in the United States during World War II.
Alaska and Hawaii had not yet become states, though both played roles in the war and were the scene of fighting between the Japanese and Americans.
Unfortunately, I don't have a 48-star flag or I'd be flying it.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
