Bernard H.V.41

[1] The H.V.41 and H.V.40 were two designs ordered for use by the French team in the 1929 Schneider Trophy.

[1] The H.V.41 was ready for testing by July 1929 but due to delays with the engine it did not fly until August and the French government withdrew the team from the 1929 race.

[1] The aircraft was then used for training by the French Schneider Trophy team.
