||
The Société des Avions Bernard float racer was designed by Roger Robert and S.G. Bruner for entrance in the 1929 Schneider Trophy contest. Powered by an 1,000 hp Hispano-Suiza 'Spécial' the aircraft flew for the first time in August 1929. After the fatal crash of Adjutant Florentin Bonnet in a Nieuport-Delage NiD-62, France withdrew from the contest and the H.V.41 was used as a training aircraft for the 1931 contest. |
