In the mid 50Ì´Ì¥s during the Korean War, altitude was the most sought after feature for jet fighters. The F-104 was designed for significantly better high altitude performance. Its 2.2 mach speed was possible because of its small body and large engines. The F-104 was dubbed Ì´ÌÕthe missile with a man in itÌ´ÌÒ! Maximum range for the aircraft was 750 miles and it carried 1-20 mm cannon and 2 sidewinder heat seeking missiles.
