DEFENDERS OF AMERICA
U.S. AIR FORCE F-104 STARFIGHTER
The F-104 STARFIGHTER, manufactured by Lockheed, is an air superi-
ority fighter. It is 54 ft. long, has a wing span of 21 ft. and is 13 ft. high.
Its speed is classified, but it can climb as fast as it flies straight and level.
Because of its short, stubby wings and ultrasonic speed, it is sometimes
referred to as "A Missile with a Man in it."
