Lockheed F104 Starfighter: WarPaint #43 softcover
Lockheed F104 Starfighter: WarPaint #43 softcover
It was initially hailed as the manned missile, the wingless wonder and the most advanced aircraft ever build but later called uncomplimentary terms as the flying coffin the widow maker and other unprintable expressions.
The F-104 Starfighter is perhaps one of the most enigmatic aircraft of the post-war period. Not good enough for the USAF but worth while for the rest of NATO. Over 2.500 built serving with no less than 15 airforces but not a permanent place within the USAF

Warpaint Series
Produced by Hall Park Books editor Alan W. Hall, these British produced and printed A4 magazine format (21 cm x 29.7 cm) books each describe in accurate detail a particular aircraft type, with the modeler and aviation enthusiast in mind. Most volumes include 1:72 scale three view plans, and a selection of colour profiles as well as black & white and colour photographs, including detail / walk around photos. A concise history of the type is included, in some cases including international operators.
Aircraft titles range from World War I to the post war period, and include the majority of RAF and Fleet Air Arm aircraft, but also feature many USAAF, USAF, US Navy and Luftwaffe machines. Few contemporary aircraft are featured as Warpaints discuss and illustrate the definitive history of the aircraft involved. Experienced and well established authors and artists are employed in order to accurately portray the subject aircraft, and every effort is made to include previously unpublished information or images. Warpaint Books vary in length and thus page count depending on the content, and are priced accordingly.
