Image description

General Ralph Tate, left, and a soldier of the U.S. Army, right, accompany his wife and daughter Mac Mahon on November 24, 1946 at the military airfield in Unterbach near Meiringen. They were flown out of the crash site on the Gauligletscher with a “Fieseler Storch” in the back. On 19 November 1946 an American military aircraft, a Douglas C-53 Dakota (military version of the DC-3), crashed onto the Gauligletscher in the Bernese Oberland with twelve persons on board. All passengers involved in an accident can be rescued alive after an elaborate rescue operation. The two Swiss military pilots Victor Hug and Pista Hitz bring the accident victims to safety with two Fieseler Storch aircraft of the Swiss Army at the airfield Unterbach near Meiringen
