Herminio da Palma Inácio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Herminio da Palma Inacio was a Portuguese revolutionary against the Salazar dictatorship. Famously, he hijacked an airplane in Morocco, forced it to fly over Lisbon dropping leaflets calling for free elections. He then allowed the plane to return to Morocco, apologized to the passengers, presented all the ladies onboard with a rose, and then vanished. [1]
