The tail fin flag is exactly as you would fly a flag on a ship or early aircraft. Imagine the leading edge of the fin was a flagpole, the left side and right side would “read” differently.
It’s a new idea to me but obviously a convention as other countries with painted tail-fin flags do the same. It seemed unlikely to me but I did look at photos of other airplanes to check!
