The US national flag of red and white stripes with a blue field of white stars has changed many times over the years. It began with a circle of 13 white stars in a blue field, with 13 alternating red and white stripes.

After there were 15 stars and 15 stripes it was decided to hold the number of stripes to 13, representing the 13 original states, and add one star for each state as it joined the union. Since then there have been flags with increasing number of stars.By the time of World War 2, there were 48 stars in the flag.
