Caption | He was the youngest captain when Swissair was founded in 1931. From 1928 to 1930, he had worked as a commercial pilot in the USA and was therefore one of the few who spoke English. For this reason, he was allowed to fly the first Swissair long-haul aircraft DC-4, HB-ILA from New York to Geneva non-stop on Nov. 24, 1946. |
