Roger that (I've ordered the book earlier today)DB 603As were indeed in series production by the end of 1942, powering the Do 217s in 1943 and on. Me 410 will have to wait until late 1943.As-is, the DB 603A was plagued with severe reliability problems all through 1943. No wonder, it will took a lot for DB to sort out the coating of the exhaust valves on their engines, as well as the oil system.It indeed can be noted that there was a lot to do by all parties (MTT,DB, RLM) in order for a Me 309 to be workable in 1943. Far more than for the Fw 190 with the DB 603A in the nose (but still with DB 603 trying to out-do woes of the Sabre of 1942 or the BMW 801 in 1941-42...).IMO, there is enough of material for a series of books about Nazi Germany bad management, outright wastage, turf wars, people pointing the fingers in random direction so others will be blamed ...
