CH-170 Cutiss Condor AT-32-C
(c/n 53)

Only one
Curtiss Condor was operated by Swissair, and it had a short lived
history. Shortly after
delivery, on July 27, 1934, on a scheduled flight from Frankfort to
Zurich, the aircraft crashed in a
violent
thunderstorm near Tuttlingen on the Swiss-German frontier. The 9
passengers and 3 crew
all
perished. I believe that it had been assigned the new
registration HB-LAP at the time of the
accident,
but had not yet been repainted as such.
