The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was designed as a supersonic interceptor. Its small, light airframe and powerful engine allowed the Starfighter to attain speeds up to Mach 2, making it the fastest manned aircraft of its time. However, due to a change in Air Force policy, the provision of the F-104 to combat units was discontinued because its small size prevented the mounting of data link equipment. But the West German Luftwaffe, with its eye on the outstanding performance of the aircraft, began to use the G model, and the Japanese Air Self Defense Force placed the J model into service. The S model of the Starfighter was utilized by Italy with many of the NATO countries also placing it into service; Canada utilized the CF-104 version. There was also a two-seater trainer version.
