A Swiss hydroplane on the lake of Anterne

In August 1920, a hydroplane left Lausanne, on the shores of Geneva lake, to fly over the Alps. The aircraft, which had just been overhauled, had engine trouble above the Chamonix valley. The pilot noticed the lake of Anterne and estimated that he could land there, which he succeeded. The lake being too small, the plane, even repaired, could not take off again. The engine was removed, and taken down to the valley, and the abandoned hydroplane gradually disintegrated.
