On SE propeller aircraft, you have to move the pitot-static probe outside the propwash, and this is a typical WWII vintage Kollsman probe:


It was generally on a boom protruding 1/3 to 1/2 chord ahead of the wing LE.
The pitot and static lines were routed up through the "fin" - probably as a water trap.
