Yellow Squadron, real name Aquila Squadron, was formed after the Usean Continental War. According to Edgar's bio, it became a tradition to name Erusian squadrons after birds to honor him after his death. The members of the original Yellows might've flown in the war, but under different units. After the war, their skills came to be noticed and the Erusian commanders formed the Aquila Squadron.

By the way, their nickname Yellow Squadron came from the yellow numbers on the nose, not their bellies. In dogfights, it's very unlikely to see the opponent's belly. But when you look behind you when an Aquila aircraft is pursuing, you will be able to see their yellow numbers. While it's also possible that the nickname was given by ground units, Aquila Squadron's records mostly came from dogfights, not CAS. That's why Aquila 1 is nicknamed Yellow 13. He flies the aircraft with the yellow colored 013.
