Re: List of DB 605A engine construction numbers?

These listed tables below are estimates compiled from data in Bf 109 loss reports that were provided by contributor Matti. These details relate to DB 605A engines produced with the 8-digit numbering system introduced in approximately early 1943, superceeding the previous 5-digit numbering.
The 8-digit engine sample are approximately 450 sets of data. Only data from engines in the data set is used and so, other engine production plants are not shown.
After approximately Feb 1944, these engines will include some DB 605 AS versions and, after May 1944 engines built for MW50 ratings.
