The Aa was based on the A-0 just like the A-1, and used the old kind of supercharger as used on the A-0 but souped up for low alt business. It seems the increased take off rating was of interest for the Luftwaffe afterall since about 25-33% of the produced A/B series engines were of the Aa/Ba kind. Which means that the luft used them as well along with the A-1. Both subtypes being produced over the same period of time.

While there is absolutly no Aa document that i could find with a RLM reference, but i believe it was used most probably on the E-4/B and E-7 variants for which the increased output at take off was most needed.

So far every engine recovered on E-4/B or E-7 crash site seems to have been of the Aa type.

Cheers,
Olivier
