  • CIA Director John McCone provided his first memorandum to U.S. President Kennedy about surveillance that would lead to a U.S. and Soviet confrontation in the Cuban Missile Crisis, describing an increase of Soviet shipments to Cuba, and his speculation that the Soviet Union was placing offensive missiles in the Caribbean island nation. McCone would give the President three more warnings in August.[36]
  • The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library was dedicated and opened to the public in West Branch, Iowa. Hoover, who had served as the 31st President of the United States (1929–1933) was present and was celebrating his 88th birthday.[37]
  • The Bell 533 research helicopter made its first flight, at Bell's Fort Worth, Texas, headquarters.[38]
  • Died:

August 11, 1962 (Saturday)

edit
  • Andriyan Nikolayev became the third Soviet cosmonaut, and the fifth man to orbit the Earth, when the Soviet Union launched Vostok 3 from Baikonur Cosmodrome.[24][39] Although the Soviets maintained the practice of not announcing the launch until after it had happened, live video of a Soviet cosmonaut in orbit was broadcast for the first time.[40]
  • The Mercury spacecraft reaction control system test was completed. Data compiled from this test was used to evaluate the thermal and thruster configuration of the Mercury extended range or 1-day mission spacecraft.[24]
  • King Kong vs. Godzilla made its debut in Japan, becoming the 2nd-highest grossing movie in Japanese filmography, earning ¥352 million at the Japanese box office, under a ¥150 million budget.[41]
  • Pyotr Bolotnikov of the Soviet Union set the new 10,000 metres world record race in Moscow, completing the distance in 28 minutes, 18.2 seconds. Bolotnikov, broke his own record of 28:18.6.
  • Died: Harry Wexler, an American meteorologist who had been researching the link between depletion of stratospheric ozone and aerosol propellants, died of a heart attack while on vacation. Wexler had accepted an invitation to deliver a lecture entitled "The Climate of Earth and Its Modifications" at the University of Maryland Space Research and Technology Institute. Another twelve years would pass before the first papers about the effect of chlorofluorocarbon on the ozone layer were published. "Had Wexler lived to publish his ideas", an author would comment later, "they would certainly have been noticed and could have led to a different outcome and perhaps an earlier coordinated response to the issue of stratospheric ozone depletion."[42]

August 12, 1962 (Sunday)

edit
  • The Soviet Union launched Vostok 4 from Baikonur Cosmodrome, with cosmonaut Pavel Popovich on board, marking the first time that two crewed spacecraft were in orbit at the same time. The two Vostok capsules came within 6.5 km (4.0 mi) of one another, and the cosmonauts established ship-to-ship radio contact.[24][43][44] Arthur C. Clarke would write later that the double launch "stunned the world", because the Soviet Union accomplishment "required synchronization of Herculean proportions at the launch site", with the second launch "at exactly the right moment to ensure the near-perfect rendezvous... only their fourth manned space flight," something well beyond the American space program at the time.[40]

August 13, 1962 (Monday)

edit
  • On the first anniversary of the creation of the Berlin Wall, three minutes of silence were supposed to be observed at noon in West Berlin. Instead, angry crowds began hurling stones across the border at police in East Berlin, who responded by firing a water cannon across the Wall and into the crowd. After more stones were thrown by the Western protesters, tear gas grenades were fired from East Berlin, after which West Berlin riot police sent their own tear gas across the border. The clash ended after an hour, and there were no serious injuries.[45]
  • Renato Daguin and Giovanni Ottin made the first complete ascent of the west face of the Matterhorn.[46] This was the last face to have been completely ascended.
  • Jean Marie Bertrand became Administrator Superior of Wallis and Futuna, a colony of France.

edit
  • For only the fifth time in its history, and for the first time in 35 years, the U.S. Senate invoked cloture, the ending of a filibuster against the Communications Satellite Act of 1962. The vote was 63–27 in favor of ending debate, three more than the two-thirds necessary.[47] When it came up for a vote, the bill, establishing COMSAT, passed the Senate 66–11 and the House 371–10. President Kennedy would sign it into law on August 31.[48]
  • In robbers armed with submachine guns held up a U.S. Mail truck near Plymouth, Massachusetts, and heisted its $1,500,000 cargo that had been en route to the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston. A man dressed as a police officer flagged the truck down, and two cars pulled out from side roads.[49] The caper was financed by mobster Gennaro "Jerry" Angiulo and carried out under the direction of John "Red" Kelley. Kelley would later arrange for the murder of six of the participants in the plot, would avoid prison by becoming a witness against his fellow criminals, and, after being relocated by the federal witness protection program, would eventually die of natural causes.[50]
  • North American began flight tests for the half-scale text vehicle (HSTV) for the Paraglider Development Program, towing it aloft by helicopter. Despite various minor malfunctions in all five test flights from August 14 to October 23, test results verified the stability of the wing/vehicle combination in free flight and the adequacy of control effectiveness.[11]
  • Born: Ikililou Dhoinine, President of the Comoros from 2011 to 2016; in Djoièzi
  • Died: Rudi Arnstadt, 35, East German border guard captain, was shot by Hans Plüschke, a 23-year-old West German border guard. Plüschke claimed to be returning fire after his patrol was shot at.[51]

August 15, 1962 (Wednesday)

edit
  • Representatives of the Netherlands and Indonesia signed the New York Agreement, with the Netherlands transferring administration of the Western New Guinea colony to the United Nations Trusteeship Council until May 1, 1963, after which the U.N. Temporary Executive Authority (UNTEA) and Indonesia would jointly administer the territory for a period of six years, during which the Western New Guineans were to be given a choice as to their future. In 1969, the territory would be incorporated into Indonesia.[52]

  • Peter Fechter, aged 18, was killed by East German border guards as he attempted to cross the Berlin Wall into West Berlin. Fechter's death has been described as "the most notorious incident of all"[64] in the 27-year history of the Wall, because Fechter slowly bled to death from his bullet wounds, in front of newspaper photographers and hundreds of spectators who were unable to assist him, and East German guards who refused to approach him until he died an hour later. In 1996, indictments would be returned against the two former guards, Rolf Friedrich and Erich Schreiber, who had shot Fechter.[65] They would be convicted of manslaughter on March 5, 1997, and placed on probation.
  • Television was first broadcast in Indonesia, at the time a nation of 97,000,000 people, as Jakarta station TVRI (Televisi Republik Indonesia) or The National Television Channel of Indonesia, began test broadcasting on Channel 5, coming directly from the Presidential Palace on the Indonesian independence day.[66] Regular broadcasting began on August 24, with transmission of the Asian Games.

August 18, 1962 (Saturday)

edit
  • Denied the right to an abortion in her home state of Arizona and anywhere else in the United States, Sherri Finkbine received the procedure in Stockholm.[68] Mrs. Finkbine, host of a children's TV show in Phoenix, had been seeking to terminate her pregnancy since late July after learning that a medicine she had taken was thalidomide, which was found to cause severe birth defects, and her search for a legal abortion began the first nationwide debate in the U.S. over whether abortion should be legal.

A team of 12 OAS gunmen, led by former French Air Force Lieutenant Colonel. Jean Bastien-Thiry, attacked the limousine. The rear window and two tires of De Gaulle's car were shot out, and the President was struck by shattered glass, as ambushers fired more than 120 bullets at the automobile, but miraculously, nobody was injured.[81] Bastien-Thiry was arrested on September 17, and executed by firing squad on March 11, 1963.[82]
