Re: ME 109 Rheims September 1944
In fact, Nick (hi!) to me it is mainly a matter of deductive reasoning: such deeper oil radiator had nothing to do with a normal DB 605A, and since none of the visual characteristics of the DB 605D are present (namely higher nose oil hatch round cover and either chin-bulges under the cowl or a completely modified Erla nose section... not to mention place and time of the finding), the DB 605AS simply had to be the culprit...
Of course with the Bf 109 nothing is ever so simple, but when it apparently is, why choose the more complicate way?
