Re: Yellow "noses" of Me 109? Who and Why?

Red stays visible longer in fading light; however, as a comparatively dark colour, the yellow would provide more contrast with the camouflage.

In the UK some fire services changed to yellow from red, but because red appeared black in the sodium lights then common. Yellow was a much more obvious colour in the evening.
