When the aircraft kidnapping was begun to call 'Hijack' for the first time?.

Question

Someday Internet article in Korea, I knew the fact that on 16th February 1958, South Korea's Korea National Airline DC-3 aircraft (HL106) was kidnapped over Pyongtaek near Seoul around 11:30. in which 33 passengers including one U.S. soldier and three crew. the aircraft was forced to land Pyongyang airport, North Korea. The Times UK reported this news 19th February 1958 and called 'Hijack' for the first time in the world. Is it true or not?

Answer 1

I guess the first one was back in the Cave Man days, this cave man named Jack, his wife threatened to kill him because he didnt bring home any Mammoth to eat. She held a bat to the dudes head while he was in his 'Flintstone' car and said Hi Jack!!! how you been?

So at that moment he told his friends that he peed his 'tree branch' when he heard Hi jack how are you. So they teased him and called it HiJack!!!!

Answer 2

Unknown... I know the term "hijack" goes back much further... not necessarily used in reference to airplanes, but any mode of transport that was taken over and forced to go at the command of those that were now in charge... particularly trucks in in the 1930's.

Answer 3

The story goes that when gangsters would stop a truck for the purpose of stealing it and its cargo, they would point their guns at the driver and say, "Hi, Jack!"

The driver, being sensible, would climb down and let the gangsters have the truck and its cargo.

That's the origin of the expression, and it goes back at least to the late 1920s.

Answer 4

"hijack," meaning to stop a vehicle in order either to rob it or to steal the vehicle itself,  the earliest example cited in the Oxford English Dictionary comes from 1923. The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang lists a use of "hyjack" to mean "an armed robber" by Ernest Hemingway in 1920.
