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many unpublished outside Germany, this book, the second volume of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.
