3 Prototypes build, 5 pre-production series A-0, 10 pre-production series B-0, 10 planes of B-1 series.
Handling characteristics were reported to be very good. However, the FW 189 was chosen to be the next tactical recon plane.
The BV 141 did a few experimental operational sorties on the eastern front only. The majority was only used for testing and some ended up in a recon training unit.
