Details

In 1936, RLM issued requirements for liaison and artillery fire spotting aircraft for the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe.

This aircraft must have a Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) performance. The Fi-156 entered small scale series production in 1937.

When she is in flight, the landing gear hung down. This is giving aircraft the appearance of a very long-legged with big-winged bird.

The Fi156 was given a nickname--Storch (Crane).

The Storch was widely spread for Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe as air taxi for high ranking officer and general, reconnaissance plane and air ambulance.

The Storch was produced into different version, A, C and D version. The high success Storch was exported to German allied—Croatia, Finland, Sweden, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Romania and Italy.

Short Description	The Fieseler Fi-156 Storch, renowned for its exceptional short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, was a German reconnaissance and liaison aircraft widely used during World War II. Its unique design, characterized by high wings and fixed landing gear, allowed it to operate from improvised airstrips, making it invaluable for reconnaissance and liaison missions in remote or rough terrain. The Storch earned a reputation for its versatility and reliability, often utilized for delivering supplies, evacuating wounded soldiers, and transporting high-ranking officers. Its slow flying speed and low stall speed made it remarkably maneuverable, enabling it to operate in confined spaces and adverse weather conditions. The Storch's distinctive silhouette and remarkable performance ensured its enduring legacy as one of the most iconic aircraft of World War II.
