NASA F-104 Lockheed Starfighter Bomber / Airplane Contractor Desk Model

About the Item

A very cool NASA F-104 Lockheed Starfighter bomber / airplane solid wood contractor desk model by Toys and Models Corporation, circa 1980s. The plane is crafted with superior quality and constructed of solid wood with a lacquer paint finish and fine detailing with great concern for exact accuracy. The model measures 6.5" in wingspan x 16"D x 6.5"H and sits on a high quality wood stand. A very nice piece of aviation history! #3936 The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is an American single-engine, supersonic interceptor which was extensively deployed as a fighter-bomber during the Cold War. Created as a day fighter by Lockheed as one of the "Century Series" of fighter aircraft for the United States Air Force (USAF), it was developed into an all-weather multirole aircraft in the early 1960s and produced by several other nations, seeing widespread service outside the United States. After a series of interviews with Korean War fighter pilots in 1951, Kelly Johnson, then lead designer at Lockheed, opted to reverse the trend of ever-larger and more complex fighters to produce a simple, lightweight aircraft with maximum altitude and climb performance. On 4 March 1954, the Lockheed XF-104 took to the skies for the first time, and on 26 February 1958, the production fighter was activated by the USAF. Just a few months later, it was pressed into action during the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis, when it was deployed as a deterrent to Chinese MiG-15 and MiG-17 fighters. Problems with the General Electric J79 engine and a preference for fighters with longer ranges and heavier payloads meant its service with the USAF was short-lived, though it was reactivated for service during the Berlin Crisis of 1961 and the Vietnam War, when it flew more than 5,000 combat sorties.
