The Japanese were one of the largest export customers for the Lockheed F 104
Starfighter. They were famous for appearing in Japanese monster movies fighting such
age old enemies as Mothra and Gamera. This aircraft has been converted to UF 104
standard as a pilotless target drone.
One of the most distinctive early helicopters was the Piasecki H 21 Shawnee
nicknamed, for obvious reasons, the Flying Banana. The aircraft saw service with a
surprising number of air forces and saw combat in Algeria with the French. A total of
10 served with the JASDF.
