It's the White Eagle of Poland. According to legend, Lech, Czech and Rus were three brothers, each of whom set off in a different direction. Czech founded the Czech nation, Rus the Russians (i.e. East Slavs) and Lech the Poles. He camped in a spot where he saw a white eagle nesting at dusk in a nest in a tree against the red sunset. Thus, the Polish white eagle on a red field. This info is from the "Flags of the World" website ( http://tinyurl.com/4eoqh ) where you can also see pictures of historic flags. Also see this Wikipedia article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_Arms_of_Poland ).
