F-104 Starfighter (Die Flugzeugstars)

Der Name Starfighter ist Legende! 1954 flog der raketenhafte Jäger zum ersten Mal und bald darauf purzelten alle bisherigen Steigzeit-, Höhen- und Geschwindigkeitsrekorde, denn die Maschine bestand fast nur aus Triebwerk und rasiermesserscharfen Stummelflügeln.

Auch die Bundeswehr flog das Muster als F-104G. Der Ruf des Starfighters ist nach wie vor legendär und Gerhard Lang setzt ihm hier ein Denkmal.

The Starfighter was once described as 'a delight to fly, but one mistake and it will kill you'. It is one of the world's fastest fighters with a top speed of Mach 2.2 and a service ceiling of 58,000 feet.
First delivered to the USAF in 1958 it was also sold to the Dutch, German, Greek, Italian, Turkish and Italian Air Forces. It could carry a variety of air to air and air to surface missiles and was powered by a single General Electric J79 turbojet that developed 17,900 lb of thrust with afterburner. The Italian Air Force continued to fly it into the 21st Century.

F-104 Starfighter - Pilot's Flight Operation Instructions

Created by famed Lockheed designer Kelly Johnson, the F-104 Starfighter was designed to compete with Soviet Mig-15s. Equipped with a huge and powerful J79 engine, the aircraft could reach speeds well in excess of Mach 2.0, while its thin, trapezoidal wing provided extremely low drag with terrific acceleration and rate of climb.

Unforgiving and sensitive to control inputs, the F-104 killed many pilots and developed a reputation as a "widow-maker". Despite its shortcomings, the Starfighter enjoyed a long career.
It flew in the air support role during "Rolling Thunder" in the Vietnam War. It also saw extensive service in foreign air forces and NATO. NASA continued to use the F-104 as a support aircraft until 1995.

This pilot's flight operating handbook was originally produced by the USAF. It has been slightly reformatted but is reproduced here in its entirety.

F-104 Starfighter Units in Combat (Osprey)

This title covers the technical characteristics of the F-104 Starfighter, one of the most widely-used and popular aircraft in history. Although built in small numbers for the USAF, the F-104C fought and survived for almost three years in Vietnam. There, it was engaged in some of the war's most famous battles including the legendary operation Bolo, where seven North Vietnamese MiGs were destroyed without the loss of a single US fighter.
This small, tough and very fast fighter, dubbed 'The Missile with a Man in It', was called upon to do things it was not specifically designed for, and did them admirably. Featuring illustrations and photographs detailing the variety of nose-paint schemes and weapons configurations, this comprehensive appraisal of the F-104 Starfighter is ideal for modelling and aviation enthusiasts alike.

Contents: Basic outline of chapters: - Design and development - April-November 1965 - Vietnam June 1966-July 1967, 435th Tactical Fighter Sqn - Combat in Indo-Pakistani Wars - F-104s and Taiwan - Appendices.
