On an early October morning in 1958, high above George Air Force Base, Col. Donald Wolf of the 434th Tactical Fighter Squadron, also known as the "Red Devils," took his F-104C Starfighter to the skies. The F-104 Starfighter, famously nicknamed "the missile with a man in it," was one of the most advanced aircraft of its time, designed for high-speed interception and air superiority. With its sleek, needle-like fuselage, thin wings, and single General Electric J79 turbojet engine, the F-104 was built for speed. Capable of achieving and sustaining speeds of Mach 2, the aircraft was renowned for its incredible climb rate and high-altitude performance.
About the Relic & Process
This relic fragment was removed from an F-104 map and data case located in the cockpit of the aircraft. Although the specific aircraft this artifact originates from is unknown, this panel was salvaged before the aircraft was retired - from the E. Bowers Collection.
