As a small person I remember being fascinated by the F104 wing being described as "so thin the leading and trailing edges were razor sharp, with ground crew requiring gloves to avoid injury" or something to that effect.
Twenty years older and it seems a bit far fetched. It is a thin wing, but sharp?
Does the razor edge have any base in reality or is it a myth dreamed up by those who write books about aeroplanes for children (or Lockheed
PR)?
