About FlyingBandit.com
Ken Leishman (a.k.a. THE FLYING BANDIT) robbed banks, hot-wired planes, staged stunning jail breaks and stole $400,000 worth of gold from the Winnipeg International Airport in 1966 - the largest gold heist in Canadian history. The public adored him for his three-piece suit and smile. At one point, the gentleman bandit was on the front page of every paper in Canada, coast to coast. Now this fascinating figure is largely forgotten.
