In the interests of fairness, which I think of as a conservative value, Joe Kennedy junior died a hero in WWII attempting to test an early remote control aircraft. It was loaded with explosives and he and another airman were to take off and then hand over control to radio operators in a chase plane. Once airborne, Kennedy and the other fellow were to bail out and await rescue. The plane exploded as it began to lift off. I believe the best of the Kennedy’s died that day.

Incorrect. The plane exploded in flight well after takeoff.
