Douglas DC-3: A Milestone in Civil Aviation

The Douglas DC-3 is widely regarded as a turning point in passenger air transport, known for its dependable design and strong performance. First developed in the 1930s by the Douglas Aircraft Company, this twin-engined type became a backbone for many airlines. Its sturdy low-wing layout and dependable powerplants made it well suited to short and medium range services. Swissair was among the postwar operators that relied on the DC-3 during the late '40s and '50s for routine passenger routes.
