Lockheed F-104 "Starfire" Supersonic Fighter

(Original Caption) This is the first official view of the USAF's supersonic fighter, the Lockheed F-104, first production model of which was rolled out of Lockheed's plant here April 17th. The F-104 Starfire is "the most advanced plane of its type ever developed," according to Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Nathan F. Twining. The jet's razor-blade thin wings--extending only 7 1/2 feet from the fuselage--are so sharp that felt covers are placed over them on the ground protect crew men. It is the first production fighter to be equipped with a downward ejection seat for the pilot. This in-flight view was taken over Edwards Flight Test Center, Calif.
