BF-109K operator and maintenance manuals and DB-603 tech manuals including BF-109 IPC, I'm sorry I don't have any DB605 manual.The Bf 109 K-4 Flugzeug-Handbuch is available from the great Hafner Archiv. This handbook was compiled in Oct '44 and released by Rechlin dated 7 Nov 1944. The document refers to the engine type fitted as the DB 605 DM and gives considerable data about the airframe/engine. However, the detail about the engine is cross-referred to the Motor-Handbuch DB 605 DM. Unfortunately, I have not found any trace of the DB 605 DM Motor Handbuch for reference. I would be grateful if anyone can help with either a location of this information or, any copy of original data.
Thanks

There're many other organizations about WWII German tech, including this free website, with many German instruments and radios.I strongly object to any books with this watermark being shared on this site, or any other web site.

Udo Hafner is an old man who has spent many years collecting the original manuals sold on his website and who spends many hours scanning, cleaning and collating the manuals into a high quality PDFs using expensive hardware and software.
This is his main source of income so posting his documents on line instead of buying them from him for a very small fee is taking food from his and his wife's table.
You are also removing the any incentive he has for scanning and selling the other manuals in his collection.

Great.
Best of luck with your project and I hope to see it when it is finished.
As a long shot look for American microfilm copies. I suggest that because a lot of Japanese documents that were microfilmed by the Americans is now available from the Japanese Diet web site. I posted two threads on what I found of interest to me.
Japanese engine manuals and technical drawings (blueprints)
Following a link provided by Shinpachi to the Japanese archives I found a number of Japanese engine and aircraft manuals so I will post all here by providing links as this is a site that should never disappear. The basic link is http://dl.ndl.go.jp/info:ndljp/pid/ (If that link does not work...ww2aircraft.net Japanese aircraft documents

I would expect that the equivalent German documents are available in Germany or the US.
Smithsonian may be able to point you in the right direction. Reference Services
Thanks for pointing out that, and I didn't know anything about Udo Hafner first, but I found that some documents on this website like German Rocket Manual and EZ 40 gunsight manual, did not come from or could be found on Udo Hafner's website, and I would check more documents on this website before sharing,I strongly object to any books with this watermark being shared on this site, or any other web site.

Sounds like an excuse for a brief "factfinding holiday" to Germany to me...The Bf 109 K-4 Flugzeug-Handbuch is available from the great Hafner Archiv.
