Douglas Caddy Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 In 1944, LT Joseph Kennedy was killed when his aircraft exploded while on a mission to destroy a German V-3 site in France. His explosive-laden Liberator bomber was to be crashed into the target by remote control once he bailed out, but it detonated prematurely. The incident came one year after Jospeh's younger brother John had been serving as commander of PT-109 when the boat was rammed by a Japanese destroyer.
