The Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine was an up-bore faster running development of the famed DB 601 and served the same main aircraft types as its predecessor: the Messerschmitt bf 109 and bf 110. At the combat al-titudes of 1944 the performance of the DB 605 rivalled that of the high altitude Merlins 60 and 70 series of the Spitfire and the Mustang. In this regard the DB 605A-1 was superior to the Mark 61, 63, 66 and 68 Merlins.
