Re: Radiator cut-off valves on Bf 109F-K
If it helps, I own an Me109G-2 (one of the very early ones) JG5, and it had the shut-off valves. It arrived in Russia, and was immediatly invloved in only 1 sortie beofre being shot down. So for sure it was installed at factory as oppsed to a ground crew installation.
All Me109G's onwards had the 2 shut-off valves, as you can see the handles in many museum examples.
There are many mistakes in Prien/Rodeike's book, so more likely a mistake in the book.
