The Kennedy Heiress Who Died In A Forbidden Plane Crash | The Kick Kennedy Story
13 May 1948, late morning, somewhere above the clouds south of Paris. In the narrow cabin of a de Havilland Dove, Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy folds a piece of hotel stationery along a neat crease and slips it back into her leather bag. The note, half-finished, is addressed to her father in Palm Beach.
Outside, the engines drone; inside, light falls in strips across her gloved hands and the pearls at her throat. Opposite her sits Peter Wentworth-Fitzwilliam, 8th Earl Fitzwilliam, leafing through papers about his pending divorce and their future plans — documents that, like her letter, will never be posted.
