Re: We need help in an identification of the pilot.

Hello all,

The engine Werknummer shown in intriguing. The vast majority of DB 605 A-1 WNrn. I have documented are either five digits, or a three-digit prefix (002, 004, 007, 011, or 019) followed by a four, five or six-digit number. In many cases, the three-digit “prefix” number appears to indicate the manufacturer. Your number, 700/044, is exciting because it doesn’t fit into any known blocks.

I note that the engine ID tag says “MERCEDES-BENZ.” Did you find a three-letter Hersteller code or manufacturer’s name anywhere on the engine?
