Lyndon B. Johnson takes the oath of office aboard Air Force One at Love Field in Dallas following the assassination of JFK
For just over an hour and a half following the assassination of John F. Kennedy the United States was without a president. On November 22, 1963, the world was shocked when Kennedy was shot in broad daylight while driving through Dallas.
Still in the grips of chaos and confusion, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as president on Air Force One as it sat on the tarmac at Dallas’ Love Field.
This photo shows the anxiety of the moment, as Johnson is flanked by a blood stained First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and his wife Lady Bird Johnson. Johnson’s new cabinet and FBI agents watch on, uncertain of how the future is going to play out.
