Re: Bf 109 with DB 605 engine SEARCH engine serial number
paukepauke,
I believe Mr Schmitt told it like it is, that records will be sparse on that type of information.
The He219 that was discovered off shore in Denmark had the tail missing and sand had eroded all markings from the aircraft exterior, so the aircraft WNr. is unknown. One engine was found and the Motornummern was learned. It is a DB603. I had requested the Deutsches Museum archives to see what they had on that engine since they hold historical records from Daimler-Benz, to try and match the engine to an airframe. Their response stated they do not have any documents with that type of information.
I personally picked up a DB605A1 data plate, with evidence of scorching/fire. I found it at a flea market, and so far haven't found anything on it.
Personally I think Steve Sheflin is the about the best source for WWII German engines.
Best of luck in your endeavour.
Tony
