Re: Yellow "noses" of Me 109? Who and Why?
In the case of the Red Baron, do not confuse personal affectations with the use of a color as a "technical warning device'. IIRC, I believe VonR was pleased when his Albatros aircraft was referred to as " Le Petit Rouge".
BTW, yellow leading edges were used by both the RAF and the Imperial Japanese Navy/Army for head on identification.
