LOCKHEED F-104 STARFIGHTER

$9.95

Titles: Lockheed F-104 Starfighter No’s 1 to 3

The Lockheed F-104 was developed by the famed Lockheed “Skunk works” under Clarence “Kelly” Johnson. Designed around the J79 engine but as small and light as possible to enhance performance the aircraft was literally a manned missile. The aircraft first flew in 1956, and considering this was only 11 years after WW2, the aircraft looked extremely futuristic.

It included features such as a wing leading edge so sharp it needed protection on the ground to prevent injuries. The Starfighter did take four years of development to reach operational service by which time the interest of the USAF had waned. As a result only 296 of all variants reached USAF service. However over 2,000 more were manufactured for foreign air forces including licence production in six other countries.

We offer three titles on the F-104 Starfighter, covering all variants in USAF service, plus several export variants, along with a manufacturer’s brochure and the Aircraft Profile. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages, unless otherwise stated. Each Title is US$9.95.
