The V 42 was a one off, single-engine, two-seat sports monoplane, built in Germany in 1925.
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.[1]
