Английская Википедия:Edmonton aircraft bombing
Шаблон:Infobox civilian attack On January 28, 1965 around 2:30 a.m., a man bombed three American warplanes being retrofitted at an airport in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[1]
Background
The United States Air Force had flown 112 aircraft to the Edmonton Industrial Airport, where they were to be repaired by Northwest Industries.[2]
Although initial reports pointed out that 15 of the planes had run spy missions over post-Revolution China,[2] the attack was said to be in protest of the Vietnam War.[3] It is believed to have been one of the first attacks ever citing the involvement of the U.S. in the Vietnam War as its motive.[4]
Attack
A security guard, Threnton James Richardson, was bound, gagged, and then shot with a rifle, when the perpetrator entered the airport.[3][5][6]
Two F-84 jets were destroyed, and a third heavily damaged by the bombing.[3][7]
Following the attack, an unemployed German immigrant, Harry Waldeman Freidrich Hubach, was arrested by police and charged with the murder of the security guard.[5][8]
Hubach was found guilty and sentenced to hang. But upon appeal and a new trial he pleaded guilty to non-capital murder and was sentenced to life in prison.[9] Released, he turned his life around, married and ran a successful business, finally dying around 2005 in Kingston, Ontario.[1]
