Terry,
A friend of mine, at the museum; his father was one of the test pilots for the CF-104.
Any questions, I sure he'd be willing to answer.
 
Thanks my friend.
I have one question regarding the explosive cylinders (for the canopy jettison) located directly behind the windscreen frame, on the cockpit sill. What colour were they, and was there a 'tube' on the top, with a 'cap', directing the blast upwards?
I don't think there was a tube as such, as only one photo I've found so far shows what looks like one, on the starboard side only, whilst all others just show the cylinders. They look like outsize 'Sparklet' CO2 bulbs, at a guess, five to six inches tall.

An excellent monograph of this odd bird with enough details to make you nauseous. Two pages of color plates. A little sparse on operations, as to be expected, but with an excellent 1/48 build. Recommended.
 
Nice one Jim. Does it also come in vertical format, or do you have to lean to the left to read it ?
I've got me coat ....................
