Well Harry I already have most of your flags and shields ready but first I have to ask a question about the German flag. Do you want it to look like the traditional Nazi flag along the same lines of the one you used in the first Atomic Eagle or has the flag undergone some changes? I ask because the shields you already provided were jet black, and put me in mind of Curt's flag of the Eternal Reich in Vendetta.
Also, about the generic Nazi flag for their South American allies. Do you want this south American flag to have any Nazi symbolism at all or should it be clear of any?
Also, for the record I too support Louis St. Laurent for Prime Minister of the Dominion of Canada.

Now when you say not to make them ruffling in the breeze Harry, do you mean not to use shading, not to make the flag slanted on a 15 degree angle or both?

Here are a few suggestions about the map.
There is no h at the end of St Petersburg. A more accurate location for it would be on the forest+silk square SW ot its present location.
However, at the time of AE, St Pete wasn't much more than an oversized town whereas Tampa Bay was on the RR, had an ocean port, MacDill AFB (est. 1941) and was a much larger city. You may want to consider a switch. An accurate location for TB would be immediately SE of the present St Pete.
Of course, if you wanted to be truly objective, you could leave St Pete where it is. Just rename it Clearwater, a much nicer place than the bloody tourist trap to the south and definitely worth defending. 
I think that there should be more of the cities that formed the American industrial heartland in the 40's and 50's. Toledo OH, Columbus OH, Dayton OH, Akron OH, Youngstown OH, Allentown PA and Erie PA were all industrial powerhouses at the time of AE. They now may be part of the rust belt but all still have numerous abandoned industrial plants that hint at the vast quantities of war material that they turned out in WWII.
Unless you are a devout Packers fan, would you consider replacing Green Bay and Madison with Milwaukee and Minneapolis-St.Paul, respectively? The latter two were major cities (>500k pop.) in the 1940's while the the first two did not even make the list of the 100 largest US cities in '40 or '50.
The map is amazingly accurate. I checked the distances between a few cities and they came in bang on.

Thanks for the tips John. Minneapolis is already represented, but I will include Milwaukee and a few of the Ohio cities. I know what you mean about the industrial powerhouses, I live west of Cleveland not to far from the "IX Center" at the airport. During the war it was the largest tank plant in the U.S. as well as one of the largest buildings constructed.
Does anyone have a problem with scrunching some of the cities together? That was the reasoning behind leaving out Milwaukee.
I already changed St. Petersburg's name last night, but your right, Tampa was the larger city. I'll make the change.
And I'm a Browns fan, at least I'm trying to be 
Also, does anyone know what Kansas city the big B-29 plant was in?
Merry Christmas everyone!

A couple of belated comments.
Thunder Bay was the name adopted by the twin cities of Fort William and Port Arthur some time in the 60's ??. As there already is a Port Arthur in TX, Fort William would be the better, historically accurate name.
Birmingham was and is a much more important city than Montgomery. Perhaps it should be included.

Well Harry here's the flagset you requested for Atomic Eagle II, I hope its to your liking. Now I included the shaded flags because I had them all drawn up by the time I realize they weren't what you wanted, and I hated to just let them go to waste so I thought I could at least show you what they look like with shading.
Now I provided the historically accurate flags of Mexico and Canada from that era (The Canadian flag before the Maple Leaf was known as the Red Ensign). The two generic Carribean flags are based on the flags of the Domican Republic and Cuba, but both colour scheme's have been altered to create fictional flags.
Now I provided two traditional German flags on the Axis side, along with three possible varriants for a version of the flag to be used in the occupied America's. The second occupational German flag is obviously supposed to be a mocking parody of the American flag used as an insult by the invading German army. The three Axis allied South American flags are based on the flags of Colombia and Venezuela, but with obvious alterations to create fictional flags.

Good looking banner indeed Harry! I'm sure it would be bone chilling to look up and see that banner flapping in the sky over yours and my hometown.

I did not get a chance to thank you for Gold Gulch. What a hoot to play.
If this comes from the same mind it is bound to be good.
Thanks Harry

Curt I really don't see how anybody couldn't love the occupied American cities. The burnt out building shells fit the general theme of the game perfectly. That theme being America under seige.
Say Harry, will there be air transport units involved in AE2?
