Transadriatica from Venice operated the first postwar commercial flight in Italy from Venice to Rome on 14 April 1947, and on 16 December 1947 it inaugurated the first international service from Venice to Zürich - Dübendorf. Here we see the arrival of a negotiation party. The company used converted C-47s loaned by the Italian goverment and I-TRIS, formerly 43-49446, later served in the Italian air force as MM61799. Note the repetition of the I for Italy on the rudder in 1920s fashion. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich This photo was added on 1 April 2019, and has since been viewed 888 times. |
