The Union Jack (The Flag of the United Kingdom) is the combination of the combination of the English Flag, the Scottish Flag, and the Irish Flag.
It should be noted that the correct term is Union flag.It does not become the Union Jack until it is positioned in the corner of the flag, as in the Australian and New Zealand flags. Thus, there is no such flag as the "Union Jack flag".

Why did James 1 change the English flag to the union jack?
The English flag was not changed, James was the King of Scotland and then took over as king of England therefor uniting the crowns. The Union Flag is a flag for the whole of the UK (England, Scotland and Northern Ireland (Wales does not feature on the current Union Flag). England and Scotland to this day are still seperate nations with seperate flags under the same head of state (The Queen). Following the union of the crowns, the English flag of St George (red cross on white background) and the Scottish Saltire (diagonal white cross on blue backgroud) were united, following a royal decree on 12 April 1606, for use at sea, thus making the first Union 'Jack'. Ashore however, the old flags of England and Scotland continued to be used by their respective countries. This new flag (or "jack" as flags were known in the Royal Navy) was christened the "Union" by sailors. On 28th July, 1707, Queen Anne issued a royal proclamation which made the "Union" the National flag of Great Britain, both ashore and at sea. The Irish cross of St Patrick (diagonal red cross on white background) was added to the Union Flag on 1 January 1801, following the union of Great Britain and Ireland. Contrary to popular belief the correct term for the British flag is "Union Flag", it is only correct to refer to it as "Union Jack" when it is flown from a ship or Admiralty Building.
