Before Hawaii and Alaska was included as states, only the "Lower 48" states had stars in the flag. This was changed in 1959, when they were both exepted into the union, Alaska on the 3rd of January, and Hawaii on the 21st of August.

Is a 46 star US flag that measures 17 ft 9 in by 9 ft 8 in a garrison flag?

Most likely it is a flag that was in use from 1907 to 1911. The 46th star was added to the US flag when Oklahoma became a state. In 1911 and 1912 Arizona and New Mexico became states and the 47th and 48th stars were added. The US flag stayed at 48 stars until Alaska and Hawaii were admitted to the union becomming the 49th and 50th star on the flag

How many stars were on the US flag during World War 2?

Forty-eight, in six rows of eight. Just like in WWI. Arizona became the 48th state in 1912; Alaska and Hawaii did not become the 49th and 50th states until 1959. However, because Alaska joined the US in January 1959 as the 49th state the 49 star flag became official on July 4th 1959. Hawaii joined the US in August 1959 as the 50th state and the new 50 star flag became official on July 4th 1960.

48 stars. Reason being Alaska and Hawaii weren't states until 1959. Our 49 star flag became official on July 4th 1959 for Alaska who joined the US in January 1959. Since Hawaii joined the US in August 1959 the 50 star flag became official on July 4th 1960.
