Swissair ordered it's Original 5 DC-3's before WWII, and introduced a nonstop Zurich-London route, one of the longest routes at the time. During the war Swissair adopted a special color scheme, symbolising neutrality. After the WWII many former military DC-3's and C-47 became available, and the DC-3 quickly became the most important airplane in the post-war fleets of most airlines, including Swissair. The last DC-3/C-47 stayed in service at Swissair as long as the 1960's. And Swissair DC-3's are still flying today! My repaint is a representation of the privately owned aircraft Douglas DC-3 N431HM.
