Early John F. Kennedy Letter About the Death of His Brother, Joe - the Event Which Would Propel Him into Politics. John F. Kennedy, born to wealth and privilege, did not want to go into politics, but the choice was never his. This seminal letter explains why... On August 12, 1944, Kennedy's older brother, pilot Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., was killed over England when, on a secret and dangerous mission, his plane suddenly exploded. He was, as Jack Kennedy was the first to acknowledge, smarter, handsomer, healthier, and much more popular than, in fact, almost anyone.
