Johnston Atoll (U.S. Minor Outlying Islands)

ISO Code: UM-67
Status: unincorporated territory of the United States

I have been the devil's advocate the past few months. It has paid off. The three American territories of Baker, Howland and Jarvis (three territories, one flag), Johnston Atoll, and Navassa Island are getting flags. Johnston Atoll conducted a flag design contest among the atoll's 1200 residents.

Johnston Atoll was annexed by both the Kingdom of Hawaii and the United States in 1858. In 1936, an airstrip and refueling station was established for aircraft by the U.S. Navy.
