Re: List of DB 605A engine construction numbers?
Hi Chris,
You did an amazing effort cross-referencing all this engine production data and sharing the results with all us here. Really a great job! I have a few more Genshagen produced AS engines with the assembly number sufix that might help you, 00705160/106 installed on Bf109 G-6/AS WNr.163422 00704581/346 installed on Bf109 G-6/AS WNr.163795 00708525/1206 ASM 0070952x/1548 AS-0 00709538/1572 installed on Bf109 G-14/AS WNr.780887 00709767/1720 AS-0 Looking at the first two engines I mentioned, the second engine has a lower engine number than the first one and a higher assembly number. This could indicate that the first AS engines were "returns" from various units or repair facilities which were then upgraded to AS standard. Later assembly number are in line with the engine numbers, so it's possible that the later AS engines were taken already at the production line and finished as AS engines. I have too little data to make this a solid claim, but I think it's worth taking this thought into account. Regarding the Fiat production - I found another engine 48771/891 installed on Bf109 G-8 WNr.200435 cheers, |
