A second generation fighter-interceptor designed during the height if the cold war, the F-104 was built for speed. Starfighters were extensively used by the USAF and NATO, and some aircraft saw service in Vietnam. Tricky to handle, the Starfighter's reputation among pilots earned it the nickname "a missile with a man in it".
