Re: Hs 129 V-4 and TF+AP?

Based on documents in Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv Freiburg, only the Hs 129V-1 to V-3 are mentioned.

On 01.09.40 the situation was as follows:
Hs 129V-1 W.Nr. 129-3001 engine: As 410A-0 at Rechlin for testing.
Hs 129V-2 W.Nr. 129-3002 engine: As 410A-0 Destroyed.
Hs 129V-3 W.Nr. 129-3003 engone: As 410A-1 From Rechlin to Henschel for repairs.

At the same time the planned 0-Serien was as follows:
Hs 129A-0 12 to be delivered July 1940 - October 1940.
Hs 129B-0 16 to be delivered February 1941 - May 1941.

There are no mention of a V-4 in any production statistics I have seen.

The series of 12 Hs 129A-0 were delivered with 2 aircraft by november 1940 and the complete series of 12 by June 1, 1941. Unfortunately, at the moment I have no indication that the B-0 series of 16 aircraft was ever completed.

The series production of the Hs 129 ran as follows:
Hs 129B-1 total 50 aircraft by Henschel.
Hs 129B-2 total 792 aircraft by Henschel.
Hs 129B-3 total 20 aircraft by Henschel.
