Assuming that both wing tanks are vented, and assuming those wing tanks are plumbed so that they feed into the header tank, then the header tank is in fact vented – through the wing tank vents.

Not necessarily. This would be true only if the hoses that feed the header tank slope continuously downward from the wing tank to the header tank. Any belly in the hose will form a trap, just like the trap under your sink.
