F-104 Starfighter -the vidow maker
The F-104G or the German version of the F-104 Starfighter was produced by a joint venture in Europe by Germany Holand and Italy. Almost 1500 were produced while the German airforce recieved around 900. Many systems were added among them nasar radar Litton Ln-12 inertial navigation system - something that increased the weight . Many German pilots were not trained to such a fast plane and during the first years the rate of crashes was very high - in total 116 pilots died and close to 300 Starfighters crashed. An intresting point is that in Holand Italy and Danish airforce the level of crashes was much lower.
For instance in the Danish airforce the F-100 super sabre crashed more.
