In February of 1947 Swissair was designated the national airline and took delivery of HB-ILO. It wasn’t a WWII ex-military leftover, it was one of the 78 brand new Douglas DC-4-1009’s. With the extended range of the four-engine DC-4 the airline began trans-Atlantic flights between Geneva and New York City. On December 14, 1951 the aircraft was lost while attempting an ILS Approach to Amsterdam in thick fog. The pilot was late pulling up to go-around resulting in the crash that destroyed the aircraft but luckily no loss of life.
Designed as an advanced civil transport to replace the DC-3, the DC4 was first flown on June 7th, 1938.© Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
