Image description

The Swiss aviation pioneer Walter Mittelholzer with co-pilot Kuenzli and radio operator Wegmann, taken on the occasion of an African flight with Baron Rothschild in a Fokker plane in 1930. Mittelholzer founded Swiss Air Lines on 29 March 1931 together with Balz Zimmermann by merging their two flight companies, Mittelholzer's Astra Aero and Carpenter's balair. Mittelholzer died in 1937, Zimmermann five months later, which triggered the first crisis for the still young Swiss Air.
