The year 1946 was very important for Swiss aviation: Swissair bought its first DC-4, which came from New York and landed at Geneva airport. In the same year, the Zurich international airport started to be moved from Dübendorf to Kloten. This unique poster by Bernhard Reber with the DC-3 and the DC-4 was created in 1948.
