The Story Behind
This unique composition celebrates the inaugural transatlantic crossings of Swissair’s HB-ILE, soaring above the legendary Matterhorn. A symbol of postwar optimism and technical achievement, the Douglas DC-4 embodied a new era of global connectivity, its high range allowing for direct flights between Geneva and New York, forever linking the Swiss Alps to the New World.
At the heart of the scene rises the Matterhorn, guardian of Zermatt and icon of Swiss mountaineering. By placing the Swissair aircraft above this mythic peak, Atelier WOCS pays tribute to both human ambition and alpine heritage, uniting aviation history with the enduring grandeur of Switzerland’s most storied summit.
