Re: DB601A-1 = Aa ??

Dear Olivier,
Thank you for reply and let me exused for misunderstanding. But according to Mr. Mike Williams' site I mean Spitfire Mk.I vs Bf109E ref.106 we can read: "...DB601Aa...not used on LW 109Es ...no german a/c captured were equipped with Aa... " and so on. It was first satisfactory idea abt. A-1/Aa matter I could agreed. But seems I've mistakened. I beg your pardon one more time.
So, could you pleased to indicate a real samples of LW 109Es equipped with Aa engine. Sorry but I don't specially interested in recovered planes before. Please inform if some of them has DB601Aa.
Also you mentioned a Daimler Benz A.G. production figures show 1/4-1/3 Aa share in total 601A quantity. Could you detailed this ?
Acc. to V15A test report seems DB hoped to guarantee 1,35 ata boost and
4700 m full pressure altitude. But finally 601A stayed at 1,30 ata and 1,30 became standard pressure level for next DB engines (601N, E, 605A).
Still thinking if 109E/B equipped by more powered DB601Aa was really made, manual should be appeared, but nothing.

Best regards
Igor
