There is a hole in the cockpit.

Yes, lots of the aircraft have a flare pistol port through which you can shoot flares - most of the German and US aircraft, for starters.

I renumbered the flares/gun on the keyboard for easy use: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

Keep in mind that some planes, you must open canopy to shoot a flare.  But like others have said, with the 109, once you select the flare gun, you will see the gun show up in the cockpit.

I think it is also possible to take the flare gun in your hand in the planes that have a pistol port.  I have had a couple of flare gun duels, the flare actually do damage if you hit another game object.

Or make a target practice mission and shoot at ground targets with your pistol as you go by.

Ah, if it went back to early 1915... you'd have carbines and other handheld weapons for the gunner to use! Interestingly, in many old photos you can see Martini Henry rifles strapped to the sides of two-seaters which are already equipped with machine guns! The reason was that they didn't have incendiary rounds for the machine guns, so they would use the rifle for balloon attack.
