Re: BMW 801 F-1, TS, TU Motornummern

Hi Steve,

How certain are you that operational TH, TS, TU, and F engines carried the 14-blade fan? I ask because a BMW report of 30 Jan 45, "1. Teilbericht uber Flugleistungssteigerung der Fw 190 mit 801 TH," noted that the change from the 14-blade 035 fan to the 12-blade 039 fan, with the TH engine, increased the speed of the Fw 190, at 1000m and combat power, by 17 kmh.

You didn't ask for them and probably don't want them, but here are some engine W.Nrs. from the report: TH: 385 004, 385 029, and 385 066; F-66: 20 214.

The FW 190 W.Nrs. are A-5: 410 232, VO+LY; A-8: 350 155, TG+MG
