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 [ edit ]
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] Vietnam War .[3] U.S. in the Vietnam War as its motive.[4]
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] Kingston, Ontario .[1]
