The description on the back of the photoprint reads: "F-94C Breathes Fire. Here is a new close up of air view of the Lockheed F-94C Starfire, whooshing for home after rocket firing tests. Note smoke stains on nose rocket doors just back of the black radome. Starfire is the first plane to carry rocket armament in the nose. This air force jet interceptor can pour a 24 rocket barrage at enemy bombers. Designed to operate almost entirely automatically the 600 mile per hour ship is one of the most highly electronified aircraft ever built. Electronics even relieve pilot of aiming the plane -- and its rockets. One rocket can destroy the biggest bomber".
