Original proposal for the national flag of Zimbabwe. According to the Southern African Vexillological Association, oversight of a national flag for Zimbabwe was conducted by the government independence celebrations committee headed by Mr Richard Hove, Minister of Public Works. A letter sent to the Flag Research Centre by a Cederic Herbert, Flight Lieutenant of the Rhodesian Air Force and member of the Rhodesian Heraldry &amp; Genealogy Society, states that the original design did not include the Zimbabwe Bird, and that Mr. Herbert made the suggestion of its addition due to its uniqueness and historical importance. This was accepted by the committee and Prime Minister.
