The DC-6 was very popular: up to 1958, a total of 705 were built. * In 1955 Arnold also released one in Swiss Airlines and probably also one in Lufthansa colors. This tin plane is equipped with a winding mechanism with key, drives forward, at the bottom there is a start and stop button and a button both left and right to interrupt the propellers ('engines') on that side. ** * Anonymous.
