Re: Can you identify a german aircraft by its main engine data plate??
Hello.
In theory you could also get the engine numbers the following way:
After an aircraft went missing, shot down, lost the unit holding it would turn over the paperwork to the Quartermaster office of the Luftflotte.
Also - any spares etc was to be sent to the a given location. I have seen some of these documents, and in these the engine number(s) was included.
Of course - 99.99% of these documents have most probably been destroyed - but if they were present you would find your engine number in there.
Regards,
Andreas B
