Among the flags that are often not represented in Flags of the World are pilot flags.
This is from National Geographic, (1917)
as well as from a scan of Webster's New International
Dictionary (circa 1924) courtesy of Jarig Bakker. As these are based on
the National Geographic magazine, images may not be
exact to the real world, but represent what has been published.

This Brazilian pilot flag is shown in the Album des Pavillons 1995
edition, but not in 2000. Why? Abandoned, or just couldn't get any confirmation,
or is it lack of space?

I very much doubt that this flag is still in use. It is "U" in the International Code of Signals,
which means "you are running into danger."
