Description
(Original Caption) Lockheed's chief engineering test pilot Herman R. "Fish" Salmon checks the needlelike nose of Lockheed's supersonic F-104A Starfighter before taking the slim, razor-winged jet up for a test. The US Air Force plane has been acclaimed as "the world's fastest fighter" but it's top speed remains a secret. For security reasons, special covers conceal engine air scoops on each side of the plane in this photo.
