Former US president John F. Kennedy had an affair with a Swedish flight attendant, according to a new book based on interviews with current and former Secret Service agents.
According to ex-agent Robert Lutz, President Kennedy took a liking to a Swedish Pan Am Flight attendant who was riding on the press pool airplane which typically follows US presidents while they travel.
While Lutz, who was assigned to the press plane, had initially planned to ask the good looking Swede out for dinner, members of the Secret Service detail assigned to President Kennedy told Lutz to back off.
Shes part of the presidents private stock, the head of the presidents Secret Service detail told Lutz, according to an account in the book reported on by the New York Post newspaper.
The book, entitled In the President's Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect, is written by former Washington Post reporter Ronald Kessler and set for release on August 4th.
Lutzs account of Kennedys Swedish mistress is one of many tales in the book detailing the late presidents many extramarital escapades.
In addition to the attractive flight attendant from Sweden, Kennedy also shared intimate relationships with Marilyn Monroe as well as the First Ladys own press secretary.
According to the book, the Secret Service was also aware of threesomes the president had with two other secretaries known as Fiddle and Faddle.
Neither did much work, former Secret Service agent Larry Newman said in the book, according to the New York Post.
The new revelations about Kennedys Pam Am Swede come more than 10 years after details emerged of another affair he had with a Swedish aristocrat in the weeks leading up to his 1953 marriage to Jacqueline Lee Bouvier.
In a 1997 book entitled Love, Jack, Swede Gunilla von Post tells of a chance meeting she had with the 35-year-old Kennedy while vacationing in the south of France in August 1953.
According to the memoir, Kennedy referred to the then 21-year-old von Post as My Swedish Gorilla, having misunderstood the pronunciation of her first name when he had first met her.
Von Post described the future president as making love with a surprising innocence and the two maintained a correspondence for six years, with Kennedy visiting her in Sweden for a week in August 1955.
- People like you will pave way for an American renaissance, of that I'm sure.
Just like Sweden, USA is a successful nation that perhaps takes success for granted a little too often from time to time.
However, I believe Americans, just like we Vikings, are intelligent enough to realize that in the end real prosperity could only derive from true work ethics.
Yes, it's as simple as that.
“So, Miss Svensson, is it true what they say about Pan Am being the world’s most experienced airline?”
“However, I believe Americans, just like we Vikings”
Vikings...very cool...
someone nuke Harvard before they multiply
“Vikings...very cool...”
- Yes it’s cool to be us.
We drink vodka all day long, drive around in Koenigseggs (not very common though), Volvos and SAABs, our women are beautiful and we construct military equipment that’s out of this world:

Thanks, but I can’t take all the credit. I did steal it from Salvation. Would you like some bleach for your eyes? I have a bit left over from the last pic I saw of obambi.
I’d have her figured more for Adolph Eichmann’s lover.
LOL! Cool. If I ever find them again, I can toss them.
LOL! Yes! JFK should have paid more attention in his German-language class. Either that or a disgruntled aide played a nasty trick on him.
Actually it’s much like Hillary’s “reset” button for Putin that said “overcharge” instead. Another prank? Or just stuck on stupid?
It’s another sign that the left is about as deep as breath mist on a cold window.
- Couldn't agree more, fellow Freeper (and that kind of people are the same where ever you go..)
We Europeans and you Americans probably would gain a lot from trying to fight Marxism and such teachings in an united manner (and probably, we'd have great fun by doing so as well).
Whenever USA and Europe dare to stand up for freedom, world history tends to develop in the right direction..
People like you and I are examples of such Westerners, yet certain others accuse us of being “Fascists” and all other kind of things because we don't wish to scrap Western Civilization like they do.
A big hug of support from Gothenburg, Sweden!
