Photograph of a bus at Love Field

Black and white photograph of Love Field on November 22, 1963 after the assassination of President Kennedy. A fence with vegetation growing on it is in the foreground of the photo with the tarmac on the other side from the camera. A white bus with "continental" written on the side is seen on the right side of the photo, driving towards the left. Two white planes, one with a Pan-Am logo on the tail, are parked on the left side of the photo further away from the camera than the bus. The photograph has a white border around all sides with "Nov 63" printed at the top center. There is writing in pencil on the back of the photograph, possibly reading: "Bus carrying Vice Pres & G Men."
