Re: Fw 190 engine number

Sadly, no...

There is a falsely advertised Fw190 D9 that was restored to static, where the seller is claiming the engine is from a specific werk #, and it has history (says he was able to match the werk number of the engine to the werk number of a plane).

It is a complete lie, as the engine was a barn-find...and was never attached to an aircraft (I know the person who found it).

It is impossible of ID an engine to an aircraft...and this seller knows that. I think he is just looking for someone uneducated to come along and buy it.

In short...it is impossible to ID any engine to ANY aircraft.
