List of DB 605A engine construction numbers?

BTW, Werke 40 was the Truck plant-although who knows if they made parts for the Aero engine Werke at times?
May I ask if your factory (the three-letter Hersteller) code info is rock solid? I don't have much independent cross-reference on those?
Thanks for posting your info, I am trying to corelate all my data independently and see how the 605 info ties in. Cheers

Hi everyone,
I am pleased to report some interesting data about DB 601 E and F production at Berlin Marienfelde Werk 90 (DBM).
As you see in my post #80 above, I postulated DBM as the manufacturing plant for block 1xxxx engines. This is despite the BIOS report data that shows Marienfelde ceasing "DB 601" production in August 1941 and not being listed for DB 605 production at all in that report (which was compiled for BIOS by DB Stuttgart just after the end of the War in Europe).
During investigation of a main bearing cap held by the Freeman Field Museum in USA, and recorded on the "WW2 Aviation.net" website, this cap was identified as being from engine Werk-Nr 14366 with the date 6/1942.
Great assistance was given by member Steve Sheflin and he supplied a listing of close Wk.Nr from his data. This information showed not only the engine types (DB 601 E and F) but also included two references to DBM, one also with a Typenschild showing Berlin Marienfelde Werk 90. So, the combined information shows that DBM were producing these engines there until at least mid 1942, despite the BIOS report having no record.
Many thanks to Steve Sheflin for his generous help with his data, which is listed here;
E 14125 DBM?
E 14259
F 14304
F 14337
(E/F 14366 Build date 6/1942, No 1 Main bearing cap)
E-1 14379 DBM, Werk 90 Berlin Marienfelde (Typenschild)
F 14396
F 14406 or 14408*

Cheers
