Image description

On November 23, 1946, members of the rescue team on the Gauligletscher are delighted to have reached the crashed Dakota DC-3 of the US Air Force with the passengers after a difficult ascent. The machine, on its way from Munich to Marseille, disappears from the radar screens in the Alps on 19 November 1946. Only after three days the crashed plane will be located on the Gauligletscher in the Haslital in the Bernese Oberland. Rescue teams will start the rescue operation early in the morning of 23 November from Rosenlaui near Meiringen. After 13 hours they reach the machine. All passengers survived the crash and will be flown into the valley on November 24 by Swiss military pilots Victor Hug and Pista Hitz in “Fieseler Storch” aircraft
