The Eagles Over Europe Project

[Larry Hickey]

Harold,

Thanx. I've got a photo of one of these a/c with C3 in the octane triangle, and I'm trying to decide which, or if both, had a DB601N engine. I know that 3737 had a large white "N" on the engine, which probably means that it was an E-4N, but 5915 may also have been an E-4 or E-7N as well.

Do any records show either of these planes as N variants?

Hi Larry and harold,

I think I can confirm that WNr. 3737 was powered by a DB601N:

Bf109E-? WNr. 3737, Engine = DB601N, WNr.66143, maker DB/Genshagen.

Steve,

Thanx. I appreciate your taking the time to comment.

I still need to know if WNr.5915 had a DB601N engine or not. This has got me checkmated on identifying a key profile package for the EoE book series.

Hello Rémi,

I checked both my Bf109 and DB601 databases regarding this particular DB601. It appears that I got it from the EOE (Eagles Over Europe) Project records:

601N, 66143, Daimler-Benz Motoren, Genshagen Kreis Tetlow, "N" large/top of crankcase, mounted on crashed aircraft: Bf109E-?, WNr. 3737, Stab/JG 51, Maidstone Road, Marden, England, 40/10/25.

I look forward to any corrections or additions.

Ok, I overlooked that oen, probably an ADI report, by the way Asmus is still pointed as missing ??
