US President Lt. John F. Kennedy Navy Dress Uniform color photo 1942

Description: An original period image restored and tinted by internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. If not requested when placing your order your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in.

Kennedy "Jack's life had more to do with myth, magic, legend, saga, and story than with political theory or political science." - Jacqueline Kennedy On August 2, 1843, PT109 was rammed by a Japanese destroyer, sinking the boat. The next seven days, as he fought to save his crew, would pave the start of John F. Kennedy’s road to the White House. As the son of the politically powerful and wealthy Joseph Kennedy, it would have been simple for Kennedy to avoid military service during World War II. Instead he enlisted in 1941 before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Kennedy’s date with destiny was launched when he spotted a “motor torpedo boat” or PT (patrol torpedo) while sailing his own sloop. The boats were designed for a fast attack, carrying four torpedoes, ten depth charges, mounted machine guns, and a small crew. In an interview, Kennedy said he was attracted by the boat’s "trim lines and scrappy look … when he inspected her he had an urge to climb behind the wheel and open the throttles wide." Kennedy was enticed into the PT service both by the boat’s function and the opportunity for officers with small craft experience to achieve a command early in their naval career. After graduating from the Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Training Center, he was assigned to help guard the Panama Canal. Kennedy’s reaction - “I got shafted!” Kennedy appealed to his maternal grandfather, “Honey Fitz” Fitzgerald, to pull strings to get him reassigned to the South Pacific. On March 15, 1943 Kennedy was shipped out from San Francisco to the South Pacific as a replacement officer for Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 2, based in the Solomon Islands. The next seven months in the combat zone transformed Kennedy from “a pampered, globe-trotting young man barely out of college… [into someone] capable of leadership and command, and possessing considerable courage under fire.”
