German Prop Pitch Lever

After reading this article, I was definitely hoping to have the option for the auto mode soon:

I have an older magazine with an article about this 109 that explains that it was actually flown by Marseille in the Battle of Britain (hence the number 14), and was crash landed on the beach in France by him. The aircraft was then refitted and sent to the Eastern front, where it was crashed in a bog, being preserved until it was found a few years back.

Anyway, note how this pilot says that he sees the switch to turn on and off the auto mode, but the mechanic tells him that while installed, they haven't gotten it working yet.

I guess, though, there's always the chance that this particular model had it installed after Marseille crashed it.
