                      ----------------------------
                           When it first appeared amid a shroud of
       great secrecy in 1954,the f-104 starfighter was considered as
       the most technologically-advanced fighter to slide trough the air.
       It had wings so thin and sharp they could cut unwary ground crew
       and so small many questioned it's ability to fly at all.
                           The Starfighter was designed specifically to
       combat the Russian Mig-15 and similar enemy fighters.The desire 
       was for more power and altitude,but the characteristics that gave
       these were lacking in other areas,such as maneuverability.In fact,
       the F-104 were not totally succesful and were phased out of the
       USAF after a relatively short service life.
                           On the other hand,a refined version of the
       sliver-like fighter was produced in great numbers for foreign
       customers and the sleek plane finally found its niche in in the
       world's air-forces.
                           The main reason for the eventual success of
       the F-104 was due to a rethinking of the tactical role for wich
       the plane was designed.Carrying a loat of long-ranging missiles,
       and firing them from a distance,does not require a thight turn
       radius.The Starfighter has a great acceleration rate and a 
       maximum speed of 1,450 mph,or more than twice the speed of sound.
