Bullet hole in windshield on JFK's Limo

[Bill Chapman]

You shouldn't necessarily assume that the windshield in the National Archives was on the limo that day.  George Whitaker, Sr., a senior manager at the Ford Motor Company?s Rouge Plant in Detroit, Michigan said that they were instructed on November 25 to replace the windshield.

Always with the sinister motive, eh John.
Tell us what happened to the replaced windshield

No, she was assessing the evidence and the witness statements. Always a good exercise.

Then I have no idea what she was "assessing" as numerous witnesses described a bullet hole in the windshield of the limousine. Most of them were trained observers too.

Why not read her assessment before dismissing it then?

So Mr. George Whitaker Sr. said in writing that there was a hole in the windshield but never wanted anyone to know that he said that until he was dead and gone. I find that to be a very smart move on Mr. Whitaker's part . It game him more time to live, unlike Dorothy Kilgallen who left life a little earlier !

Any evidence that what Mr Whitaker said is true? Any evidence that Dorothy Kilgallen's death was suspicious? Any evidence here death was connected to the JFK assassination?

Analysis by Barb Junkkarinen concludes that there was no through hole in the windscreen but rather damage to the inner surface which remains consistent in the different photographs, disproving the windscreen switch idea. An interesting read.

Damage to the inner surface would seem to be consistent with a sharp blow from the opposite side...

I would think that a crack in a piece of glass is as distinct as a fingerprint... We seem to have a pretty good picture (if legit) of the windshield crack from 1963... and allegedly we have the actual windshield that was removed from the limo in the National Archives. A good closeup HD image of the windshield in the National Archives would allow a good enough comparison that would, perhaps, help us determine if the two windshield images are from the very same windshield. What I have seen so far says they are very possibly not from the same windshield....
