Aeronáutica Naval was merged with the Aeronáutica Militar in order to form the Spanish Republican Air Force. Post Civil War, the Hispano HS-34 Hispano-Suiza became Hispano Aviación after the Spanish Civil War. In 1941 a final unit was assembled using recovered parts of an E-34 and a Gipsy engine. Hispano had hopes of restarting production, suggesting the HS-34 might find a rôle as a glider tug. On 18 April 1942, a successful test took place, flown by the usual Hispano test pilot Fernando Floes Solis, but the type was not accepted by the military. Instead, it flew with the civil Aero Club of Seville. Lage suggests that this aircraft may be the HS-41 referred to in the 1942 Hispano catalogue.
