Historical background and application

The F-104 Starfighter, produced by Lockheed, was a versatile fighter used by numerous NATO countries, including the United States, Germany, Italy, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Japan. The aircraft debuted in the late 1950s, remaining active throughout the Cold War and in some countries into the 21st century. The F-104 saw action in Asian conflicts and was a key asset for many air forces for over four decades.
