I read once that the 109 did have pilot protection armour. Only reasoni do remember is that some pilots removed the head protection plate as it prevented rear view and that at later date thiswas changed to bullet proof glass behind the pilots head due to this reason

Very late in WWII Me 109 were fitted with plexiglass in the 1940 only the BF109 E4 even if some early version were retro fitted.
