Re: Non-Vented Canopy on the Me109

As a quicky thought on this, I would opine that perhaps the pressurization was either not installed on this a/c, or was removed, and at some point the pilot decided that he wanted a vent for the cockpit. And since there was already a hole in the skin of the a/c at the location of the flare gun, that's the hole they used for the vent.
