The Bernard H.V.42 was a racing seaplane designed by Société des Avions Bernard for the French government for use of the French Schneider Trophy team.[1]

Design and development

Three H.V.42s were ordered by the French government for use as trainers for the French Schneider Trophy team at Lake Berre.[1] Similar to the earlier H.V.41 they were streamlined single-seat cantilever monoplanes with twin floats.[1] The first H.V.42 flew in March 1931 and was soon joined by the other two.[1] Marked as "1" "2" and "3" they were used during the summer of 1931 to train the French team for the 1931 race.[1]
