Re: 1.98ata testing
Carl, I will quote from the link,
II. / JG 11 was ordered to do trials of 1.98ata by Umrüstnummer 63253 vom 16.1.1945. II / JG 11 performed the operational trials with 1.98ata and had reported in February 1945 that it had converted 11 of its G-14s, G-10s and K-4s to 1.98 ata (i.e. note that by this time also ASM engines of the G-14/AS had this 1.98ata rating, so basically all 109s with high altitude engines) and had not much trouble with it, with two engines failing in unrelated conditions in normal flight conditions, otherwise the spark plugs were also OK.
Thank you again for sharing your unbiased knowledge.
