Sorry, just come to this, and you may already have what you need, but there is an episode in the BBC radio series called: 'The Flag That Failed' which you might find interesting.It's free, and 15 minutes long.

I'm looking for some books/literature on the history and design of the Union Jack flag.
If you know of something thank you in advance!
I am vaguely aware it's a combination of a couple of other flags, St Georges, Scottish, Irish flags....
I'm curious about the crossed stripes....and really the visual and symbolic meanings of the flag.
