HB-ILA was the first of a total of five DC-4s delivered to Swissair between 1946 and 1952. The long range of the four-engine Douglas aircraft allowed flights from Europe to North America, service to New York starting right after delivery of its first aircraft, named “Genève” on November 24, 1946. This Herpa Snap-Fit model sports the twin-stripe livery first introduced in 1950.
