Re: Red 109s
Does the author make mention of the geschwader?
About the only "yellow nosed" geschwader that I can think of is 26, but unless you can give me a date and operational area of the book, I'm really unable to come to a conclusion as to which JG it might have been.
I don't think, right off the top of my head, that any Luftwaffe pilot would be crackers enough to paint his plane entirely red; that tends to make targets really easy to spot.
It is possible that in the waning sunlight or the morning lowlight of dawn, planes that are silver could appear to be red due to refraction.
