Re: Me 109 and cannon trough prop-shaft
I believe it was the 109C that was first intended to have the cannon, but it was not fitted in service. It was widely assumed at the time, by the British (and possibly the French?) that the 109E had an engine-mounted cannon but this was not true - the central intake was used for engine cooling.
I suspect it is this confusion over its use on the E that has misled your friend - there is no doubt at all about its appearance in later versions.
