This air-to-air photograph shows a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, serial 42281, banking above mountainous terrain. Known as the 'missile with a man in it' for its razor-thin wings and needle-like fuselage, the F-104 was among the fastest and most advanced interceptors of the late 1950s, representing the cutting edge of U.S. Air Force jet fighter technology during the early Cold War.
