Wen zhu-qiang Because of his outstanding academic performance, he stayed in
Academy to be an instructor pilot. In May 1954, Wen searched for the Communist
naval vessels near Dachen Island 大陳島with other wingmen. They encountered 6 MIGs
and had a fierce air combat. Wen seriously damaged one enemy airplane; the rest
of the enemies ran away. On July 6, he piloted an F-47 to support the ground
troops in Dachen Island and to bombard enemy naval vessels. Above Zhoushan
Island舟山島, he ran into many MIGs, but when chasing them to Ninbo寧波, he was
surrounded and attacked by many MIGs. He died in this battle. In appreciation of
his contributions, the government bestowed him the rank of Major. |

About noon, four ROCAF F-104Gs took off at Ching Chuang Kang AB, to assist a ROCAF RF-104G bullied by PLAAF J-6s (MiG-19s) in Fu Jian or Jin Men area. 4353 was the third of the flight of four. 4344 and 4353 each fired a Sidewinder AAM, and each shot down a J-6. First air kills by F-104s of any nation. PLAAF claimed 4353 shot down by J-6. Based on radio chatter, in which the F-104 pilots, while returning to base, excitedly spoke about the air battle, ROCAF claimed 4353 crashed due to a sudden mechanical or fuel malfunction. |

However, the plane lost control and dropped into the sea. Fortunately, he
struggled to swim to the shore. When conducting recon/photo mission in 1957, he was intercepted several times by the enemy planes. After the engagement, he managed to escape. However, he he was forced to fly toward Korea as he was running out of fuel. He anticipated that he might not be able to land safely, so he dropped the reconnaissance films from his plane in advance. He died in the failure of force landing. His valor set a good example of the Air Force traditional spirit of patriotism and bravery as well as the determination of sacrifice to accomplish the given mission. |

19th November 2001
TAIPEI, Nov. 14 Kyodo A Taiwan air force fighter crashed Wednesday into the Taiwan Strait but its two crew members have been rescued, military officials said. The crash of the Mirage 2000-5, which occurred at 12:40 p.m. some 45 kilometers off the island's northwestern coast, brings to three the number of doomed French-made fighters belonging to the air force. Air force headquarters said the two-seater fighter took off on a routine training mission from Hsinchu Air Base at 12:19 p.m. Air controllers lost contact with the aircraft immediately after its crew reported that an engine had stalled. Both crew members, Lt. Col. Liu Hao-fan and Lt. Col. Chang Chien-hsiao, safely ejected and were later plucked from the strait, the officials said, adding that they are being transported to hospital to be treated for hypothermia.

(Yes, I'm been on-line researching ROCAF F-104 attritions for a few F-104
fan sites again.)
] Donny "Remember the Avro CF-105 Arrow" CHAN
FYI, I graduated from the (then) Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty
of Applied Science and Engineering, University of Toronto, and one of our
Mech Eng profs used to work on the Orenda engine destined for the CF-105.
10 October 1964:
ROCAF F-104A, 4205 (56-0842).
ROCAF F-104A, 4212 (56-0780).
ROCAF F-104A, 4216 (56-0787).
During National Day parade, these three were elements of the third of four
flights of four aircraft each.
Despite poor weather, the fly-by wasn't cancelled, and the aircraft flew
lower than rehearsed.
4212 hit an antenna tower and damaged its left drop tank and left wing.
Half of the drop tank and parts of the wing fell off, and hit a weather
bureau building.
Three civilians killed, including a weather bureau employee.
While its wingmen checked the damage on 4212, 4205 and 4216 collided and
crashed near Tai Bei (Tai Pei). One crashed in Ban Qiao, another crashed in
Tu Cheng.
Two pilots killed.
Wang Gan Zong on 4205.
Major Lin Heh Sheng on 4216.
4212 actually returned to base at Tao Yuan AB.
Wang also ejected from F-104A 4202 on 5 April 1962.

BTW,

with photos of Lin's statue, mentions:
In Ping Tung City, Ping Tung County, a primary school for ROCAF personnel's
children was renamed Ping Tung Heh Sheng Elementary School to honour Lin.
http://www.hsps.ptc.edu.tw/
Lin was from Ping Tung, had combat experience with F-86 against China,
awarded tens of times, and participated in combat competitions in
Philippines.

mentions:
"It appears that 56-779 received the tail section of 56-780 sometime while
in USAF service. The visible sign of identifying an aircraft is by the
serial number on the tail so after this happened, our aircraft #779
effectively became #780."
18 December 1963:
F-104A. 4208 (56-0769).
ROCAF.
Caught fire and exploded, south of Hsin Chu.
One pilot killed.
