Joseph Patrick Kennedy, Jr. was the eldest and favorite son of Joseph Kennedy.
Always considered the strongest and the bravest, he was extremely competitive
and seemed to feel the keenest competition with Jack. His tendency for heroism
and daring made him enter into some life threatening activities such as swimming
the freezing and swift McClound River or taking a first time bobsled ride down a
run on which experienced bobsledders had lost their lives. During World War II,
he enlisted in the Navy, eager to fly and see action. Completing his tour of
duty in 1944, he was packed to go home when he volunteered for a top-secret and
dangerous mission without learning any of the details. Half an hour after
take-off his plane exploded in mid-air.
