The assassination of President Kennedy was one of the most traumatic moments in American history. Since then, the circumstances of his death have been considered highly controversial and largely mysterious. A recent discovery of lost audio recordings from Air Force One have resurfaced, and are being inspected for possible details regarding this tragic event.

Nathan Raab, VP of The Raab Collection, stumbled across the tapes at the bottom of a box owned by Ted Clifton. Clifton served as a military aide to both Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, and he was in charge of military actions immediately after Kennedy’s death. The tapes were donated by the Raab Collection to the National Archives, where they were made public. The recordings captured two hours and twenty-two minutes of conversation between air traffickers and members aboard multiple aircrafts in the Presidential Fleet. One tape came from Air Force One on its return flight from Dallas, Texas, to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. Passengers on this flight included Jacqueline Kennedy and acting President Johnson.

During the flight, Johnson called Rose Kennedy, the mother of the fallen President, to send his condolences: “I wish to God there was something that I could do and I wanted to tell you that we were grieving with you.”

Also found in the recordings were orders to locate Curtis LeMay, the Air Force Chief of Staff. General LeMay was called into suspicion because of the high tension between himself and President Kennedy after disagreements regarding the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Similar audio recordings from the flight were released in 1971 during Nixon’s administration; however the earlier recording was edited and is 40 minutes shorter. The editor and their intentions remain unknown, but the edited version does not mention LeMay. LeMay’s absence in the recordings has sparked interest with investigators.

Even with the release of the extended version, a significant duration of the roughly 4 hour flight is undocumented. The lack of a full disclosure only perpetuates the mystery and controversy of the incident.

You can download and listen the recordings directly from the National Archives here. Just be ready to dedicate a solid two hours to listening to the fascinating material.

JFK, Lost audio

The tapes are of great historical interest, but what everybody wants to know is has there ever been any credible evidence that the Warren Commission got it wrong? These tapes do not seem to contradict the findings of the Warren Commission and Senator Ted Kennedy always said that it was his belief and the belief of his family that the Warren Commission got it right!

The only thing you need to refute the Warren’s commission coverup is the Zabruder film. … the fatal shot came from the front. . period. So unless there is evidence that Oswald had bullets that reverse direction and then hit the target, the warren conclusion is 100% bogus. . period.

Tough to listen to since its in real time and you know they don’t yet know what is going on. Very much like listening to 9/11 dispatch and radio/phone calls.

” Passengers on this flight included Jacqueline Kennedy and acting President Johnson.”

Acting President Johnson?
Johnson was sworn into office by Judge Sarah Hughes, on Air Force One, before the flight left Dallas. He wasn’t an “acting” president. He was the commander in chief.

I’ve heard George H.W. Bush , Nixon and Hunt were there in Dallas on that day? Very odd indeed. I saw a youtube clip where a reporter was talking to one of Johnson’s mistress that was there.

The United States House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was established in 1976 to investigate the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. and the shooting of Governor George Wallace.

The Committee investigated until 1978, and in 1979 issued its final report, concluding that President John F. Kennedy was very likely assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.

Any questions

the bush clan has a knack for being on the periphery of notorious events in our country and jfk’s assassination is just the tip of the iceberg…

Poppy Bush made his “bones” by running the JFK job. He was a made man after that.

JFK was shot to death by one of your own. An extreme leftist.
