Almost thirty-seven years ago, a group of men waited inside a Ford Econoline 150 in the predawn darkness at JFK Airport in New York City. At 3:12 a.m. they backed the van up to a terminal loading ramp and then, with masks covering their faces and firearms drawn, quickly and skillfully stole $5 million in cash and almost a million in jewelry from an airport vault, a haul that would be worth $22 million today. The epic robbery, which was the brainchild of mobster Henry Hill and which still stands as the biggest cash theft ever on American soil, has been popularized in books and films, most notably in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas.
