A development of the Ha 139 retaining the seaplane's inverted gull wing, the BV 142 first flew on 11 October 1938. Like the Ha 139 it was intended as a long-range mailplane, in particular for Lufthansa's Stuttgart - Natal route. The four prototypes built were used for transport and maritime reconnaissance missions after the outbreak of the war, but found to be of little military value.
