Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter - Plot & Excerpts
German U-boat attacks had made sailing, even on a passenger ship, too risky. On May 28, 1940, the day Belgium surrendered, as many French residents living near the Belgian border were trying to flee to England, Eddie and Mary Moore escorted Rosemary aboard a flight from London to Lisbon, where they waited, no doubt impatiently, for a scheduled Pan Am flight to New York. Though Joe Kennedy needed Moore at his side during this tumultuous time in Europe, getting Rosemary safely home was her father’s priority. The Moores’ anxiety over the last-minute departure as western European nations were succumbing to Germany’s advancing army was exacerbated by bad weather and heavy fog. Their flight out of Portugal to the United States was unexpectedly detoured to Bermuda because of the poor weather conditions, but the three landed safely in New York on Saturday, June 1, a day later than scheduled. When Rosemary wrote her father a few days later, she did not mention anything about their adventurous flight home, except that Eddie Moore told her that he wasn’t “forgetting our trip back.”
