Thy always sent a top photographer to document the "big event". In 63 it was Ike Altgens.
Altgens was on assignment for the AP when he captured two historic images on November 22, 1963.[2] The second, showing First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy toward the rear of the presidential limousine and Secret Service agent Clint Hill on its bumper, was reproduced on the front pages of newspapers around the world. Within days, Altgens' preceding photograph became controversial after people began to question whether accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was visible in the main doorway of the Texas School Book Depository as the gunshots were fired at JFK.[3]
