The first of two Orion 9B's delivered to Swissair in 1932. These were the fastest airliners of the day - 195 mph cruise for 580 miles with a 575 hp Wright Cyclone and retractable u/c. 6/8 passengers. The cockpit cover is in the open position. Painted red overall. From Swissair 60 years ago. This photo was added on 7 October 2017, and has since been viewed 671 times. |
