LUFTWAFFE AIRCRAFT, NEW AND OLD.—A West German Air Force 1963 Lockheed TF104G fightertrainer (left) and a replica of a 1915 Fokker E 3 fighter. The former has a speed of about 1500 miles an hour, and the latter cruises at 86 miles an hour, with a maximum speed of 115 miles an hour. This photograph was taken at the Lockheed-California Company’s Palmdale factory. The West German Air Force uses the Lockheed-designed TF104G as operational trainers to supplement squadrons of single-seat F104G's manufactured in Europe under licence. Only one of the original First World War Fokker E 3 aircraft is known to exist. It is in the British Science Museum, London.
