It was later redesigned; images recorded after its registration as "H-NACD" in the summer of 1924 show a roughly quadrantal fin with a pointed, vertically-edged rudder. In both forms the rudder ran down to the keel, working in a cut-out in the broad-chord elevator. The rear control surfaces, like the ailerons, were unbalanced. The Holland H.1 had a conventional fixed tailskid undercarriage with its mainwheels on a single axle and a track of . The axle was mounted via bungee shock absorbers to short vertical legs with and rearward drag struts, both attached to the lower fuselage longerons. The H.1 was flown for the first time in late March or early April 1924 by Reparlier at Waalhaven. At the beginning of May VIH entered the C.12a and the H.1 into the "Tour de France" contest, which was to be held between 24 July and 10 August, starting and finishing in Paris. In all, fifteen aircraft were entered. The H.1 was to fly as a single seater, a Tour class which was limited to aircraft with engines of less than , so the Anzani needed some minor modification to reduced its capacity to . On 11 July the single seat Holland H.2, a development of the C.12a with a new fuselage and a vertical tail revision like that made to the H.1, took its first flight and VIH decided to enter it, rather than the H.1, in the Tour. Little more is known about the career of the H.1, though it was advertised for sale in June 1925. VIH went bankrupt in 1924, their assets acquired by Pander & Son.
