Re: Radiator cut-off valves on Bf 109F-K
I am not if this is not a case of exceptions that proves the rule; reading the text of the book, and taking into account that these valves were still fitted in 1945, I tend to believe that this statement was more of an educated guess on part of the authors, based on some reports etc. of aircraft that lacked this feature. Such exceptions are numerous in practice (i.e. some G-14s did not have armor fitted, but these were probably converted from high altitude versions which didn't have armor fitted as opposed to standard fighter versions).
So, I am still puzzled.
