70 years ago: the first hijacking

Seventy years ago, in 1948, four armed Chinese men hijacked ‘Miss Macao’, a Catalina seaplane operated by a Macau Air Transport Company. The incident resulted in the aircraft crashing into the Zhujiang River estuary, killing all but one of the 27 people on board. This was the first recorded hijacking of a commercial aircraft in aviation history.
