The Taiwanese Air Force wrote history by operating more versions of the F-104 then any other nation, including the United States of America. The versions were F-104A, F-104B, F-104D, F-104G, RF-104G, F-104J, F-104DJ, TF-104G and their own created RF-104Gev. The aircraft were obtained under MAP from the USA and second-hand via Japan, Denmark, Belgium (spare parts usage only) and Germany. A lot of remaining aircraft can be found preserved at various locations. On January 13th 1967 two Taiwanese Starfighters wrote history by shooting down two J-6 (Chinese Mig's) near Kinman Island during a serious dogfight.
