Maybe it is even rarer to get the first 1941-form:

This one is published in "Das NS-Fliegerkorps", Ausgabe B der Luftwelt, number 3
from March 15, 1941 page 47. Note the Gothic "B". I can't remember ever having
see anywhere this form.

This one is shown in "Das NS-Fliegerkorps" from Arno Kehrberg, February 1942.
Note the normal "B".

I did some checking. The change for the Gothic "B" (Gotische Schrift)
into the regular "B" (Normalschrift)surely will have to do with a Hitler
decision.
January 13, 1941 the Reichsminister und Chef der Reichskanzlei noted
this in a letter (Rk. 237 B). In the letter it was specified that Hitler
meant it was not in the interest of Germany to maintain the Gothic
script. Mainly while foreigners, known with the German language,
could not or hardly read it.
A start was made with the change, but would take a while, due to
this change/correction. Simultaneously the stand for the head for
the eagle once more came into discussion.

So, it is possible the insignia with the Gothic "B" was in use for a
very, very short period of time!
