Episode Synopsis

We look at one of the many legendary planes designed by one of the worlds most awarded Aviation designers - Kelly Johnson. We follow the path of the much maligned but equally inspiring F104 Lockheed Star Fighter, from Kelly's initial concepts in 1952, through the painstaking development and to the last F104 made in 1983, a production run that lasted over 30 years.
