Re: List of DB 605A engine construction numbers?
Hi Steve,
So, the 00702626 Genshagen built DB 605 AS-0 comes out as built in mid October 1943. This would seem quite reasonable for an important prototype test flying in mid December 1943, as shown in the official performance report. My own information shows that DB had been testing prototypes of the DB 605 engines with the large DB 603 supercharger for over a year. So, this important test flight was probably one of the first of the large supercharger Bf 109 types. The results were very favourable and obviously production of the AS and D powered 109's was encouraged. SM |
