Image description

Children and their companions are waiting for a call for a whooping cough flight for sick children by the Swiss airline Alpar, recorded in August 1944. Whole groups of children were transported in planes and flown to over 3000 meters above sea level with open cabin doors, where they circled for an hour. The parents paid between 40 and 50 francs for it. In the vast majority of patients there was a considerable improvement within the first 5 days after the flight until the infectious disease was completely subsided.
