Question: new BF109E4: when were the modifications first time used?

[kraut1]

Hi All,

For historical mission generation I would like to know:

-When was the armoured wind screen first time used?

-When was the DB601N first time used?

Already known for me:

Bombs: August 1940

And the Mirror and the removed head rest are of course field modifications.

Many thanks in advance!

July 1940 for the 601N. 

 

Additionally, the Romanians apparently had some of these planes in their inventory.

Thank you very much for the information, very importent for Battle of Britain missions.

(It seems to me that due to the priority for the DB601/N engine for BF110 destroyers (and maybe bombers)

only 1 Jagdgruppe of JG26 + JG26 Commander Galland was using this engine in the BF109. Is this correct?)

Concerning the Armoured wind screen:

Has maybe anyone historical Battle of Britain BF109-E4, E7 photos with date that show the Armoured Wind Screen?
