F-104A 'Early Zippers' Conv. set
The F-104 Starfighter was an American jet fighter, designed by the Lockheed Aircraft Company in early 1950s. Radical in concept, it was the first operational interceptor capable of sustained speeds above Mach 2.
The Starfighter prototype flew in February 1954 and the first F-104A production aircraft were delivered to the USAF early in 1958. In total, 153 F-104As were produced of which 10 a/c were also supplied to Pakistan.
The F-104 was a single-seat, all-metal mid-wing monoplane powered by a GE J79 turbojet. It had two fuselage-side air intakes, small thin wings with a pronounced anhedral and a T-tail. Its nose undercarriage retracted forward. It mounted one multi-barrel gun in the nose, two Sidewinder missiles at each wingtip and optionally also another pair of AAMs beneath the fuselage or wings.
The Starfighter had only a relatively short career with the USAF, but it became the backbone of a number of NATO and other Allied air forces, serving all over the world from the 1960s well into the early 2000s.
