Description
The F-104 Starfighter was one of the most fascinating aircraft of the Cold War era in Europe.
Several European air forces operated the aircraft, with Germany alone having 916 Starfighters in its inventory.
The General Electric J-79 engine howl was unique and filled the European skies for many years.
This book covers Starfighter pilot training in the US, weapons training in Italy and Portugal, NATO competitions, technical specifications and the controversial accident issues in the 1960s.
With over 220 images, many unpublished outside Germany, this book, the second volume of two covering the Starfighter in German service, provides a dynamic look at this versatile multi-purpose aircraft in service with the Luftwaffe and Naval Air Wings.
