F-104 Starfighter in Action
F-104 Starfighter in Action (Aircraft 27) By Lou Drendel
Publisher: Squadron Signal Publications 1976 | 50 Pages | ISBN: 0897470265 | PDF | 34 MB
"It is the most dangerous, insidious airplane that I have ever flown, having many coffin corners that you can get yourself into without natural warnings...and leaving yourself no place to go!"
Believe it or not. those are the words of a veteran Starf ighter Pilot, who is a big fan of the F-104. The manned missile from Lockheed's famed "Skunk Works" has engendered this love/hate relationship in thousands of the free world's fighter pilots. It is an airplane that, when flown to the optimum of it's performance envelope, could outshine any of it's contemporaries, but when mishandled would be unforgiving in the extreme.
The genesis of the Starfighter is a legacy of air combat lessons learned during the Korean War. Fighter Pilots emerging from battle with the Mig-15 (their 10 to 1 kill ratio not withstanding) wanted a machine which could outperform the nimble Russian fighters. They were winning their air war with old head saavy...making the Migs fight on their terms. If they had to go to war again, they didn't want to take the chance that the communists would not learn from Korea. They wanted an air superiority fighter and the Air Force, with a clarity of foresight borne of a shooting war, agreed. And so it was that in March of 1952 the Lockheed design team, under C.L. "Kelly" Johnson, began work on what was to become the most widely used double sonic fighter ever developed. By November the F-104 had emerged as the needle-nosed, short-winged, high-tailed purebred that it has remained for nearly a quarter of a century.
