Out of curiousity, which version of the DB 601A did the E-4s gets? A-1 or Aa? I believe the E-7s had the Aa as standard.

Just look at the official Luftwaffe list over aircrafttypes from april 1941!!!!!

In the german wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_601) you can read that the "DB 601 Aa" was the export version of the "DB 601 (A-1?)". That can be logical, because the "Bf 109 E-3a" was also an export version. Are other variants of the DB 601 known, like the A-1 and the Aa?

Hi again

I've just emailed you some 'emil' plans showing the comparative external differences.

Cheers
