The Whipple Flag
Wayne Whipple, the Patriot Series and the Peace Flag
Although mostly known for his literary work, his design of the Whipp l e F l ag is quite interesting. In 1912 he Submitted an entry to a natio nw id e co ntest. The contest was to find the flag that most represente d Ame ric an hi story. Whipple Submitted a flag which he named the Whippl e Peac e Fl ag. I t was in tribute to the global peace movement which pre ceded W orl d War I. Of the more than 500 flags Submitted, Whipple's won.
The design of Whipple's flag reveals a centrally located six point e d 1 3 s tar group representing the 13 original colonies surrounded b y a l arg e cir cle made up of the remaining 35 stars. The stripes are si mila r to o ther A merican flags.
Although it was a contest winner, it never caught on. It is just a b l i p o n the memory screen today. It can however still be seen on one o f W hi pple 's book covers. In the three volume Patriotic Series publishe d b y He nry A ltemus Company.
