In this paper we provide an explicit description of normal almost contact structures obtained from Cartan-Ehresmann connections (gauge fields) on principal S1-bundles over complex flag manifolds. The main feature of our approach is to employ elements of representation theory of complex simple Lie algebras in order to describe and classify these structures. We use these normal almost contact structures to explicitly describe a huge class of compact Hermitian non-Kähler manifolds obtained from products of principal S1-bundles over complex flag manifolds. Moreover, we obtain from our description several concrete examples of 1-parametric families of complex structures on products of principal S1-bundles over flag manifolds, these concrete examples generalize the Calabi-Eckmann manifolds. Further, as an application of our main results in the setting of KT structures on toric bundles over flag manifolds, we classify a huge class of explicit examples of Calabi-Yau structures with torsion (CYT) on certain Vaisman manifolds (generalized Hopf manifolds). Also as an application of our main results, we provide several new concrete examples of astheno-Kähler structures on products of compact homogeneous Sasaki manifolds.
