Design and development
Broadly similar to but larger and nearly 30% heavier than the LFG V 40 and LFG V 44, the V 42 was an all-metal cantilever high-wing monoplane. Unlike the V 40 and V 44 it was powered by an inline engine rather than a radial, the 100 hp (75 kW) Mercedes D.I.
Operational history
The V 42 was amongst five LFG entries to the Round Germany Flight held in the summer of 1925, though only the LFG V 39 took take part.
