...never designed anything before. The involved banner of the Central African Republic was designed by its Premier Barthélémy Boganda, who was later killed in an air crash (TIME, April 13, 1959). The problems faced by the 18 new nations, and by nations yet unborn, were summed up by an official of the Malagasy Republic. "It was very hard to find a combination that was not already in use," he said apologetically of his country's flag. "There have been so many new nations that this is the best we could...
