The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, also knewn as the "Widow Maker", the "Fallfighter or the "Flying coffin", was an american jet fighter which entered in service in 1958 in the USAF and was retired in 2004 by the Italian Air Force.
Because of its little and fine wings, it was very fast but those wings and all the equipement make of it one of the deadliest aircraft never build, over 900 aircrafts bought by the West Germany Air Force, 292 were destroyed in crashes and 119 of there piloted were killed. 1/3 of those crashes were the result of a stoppage of the engine.
I remember of a story of the crash of a F-104 which was the result of a failure in the oxygen system, the pilot passed out and his aircraft had drift until Denmark where it was escorted by two other Starfighter of the Danish Air Force before it ran out of fuel and crashed. The majority of the crashes of Starfighters in Germany were declared due to an error of pilotage or of a bird which entered in the reactor when they were due to the aircraft itself.
It was retired of the USAF in 1969, of the Belgian Air Force in 1983, of the Canadian and Japanese Air Forces in 1986, of the Luftwaffe in 1987 and of the Italian Air Force in 2004.
