Those long, spindly legs gives the plane the ability to land in arkward places, as they are able to absorb the chock of a hard landing and the wide stance makes for stable landings in rough conditions.
The Storch (Stork) was designed in 1935 by Fieseler, Mewes and Bachem, in response to a contest for a general utility airplane by the RLM.

  Fieseler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fieseler had been a manager for the Raab-Katzenstein, but when this company went bankrupt, Fieseler bought a sailplane factory in Kassel and quickly turned it to building sports planes.
At the same time, Fieseler still custom-built sailplanes for some of Germany's most prominent designers and pilots, including Wolf Hirth's "Musterle" and Robert Kronfeld's "Wien" and "Österreich" (for many years the largest sailplane ever built).
Even greater success was to follow in 1936 when an aircraft of Fieseler's own design won a tender for a new STOL observation and liaison aircraft for the Luftwaffe.

 Fieseler Fi 156 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch (stork) was a small liaison aircraft built by Fieseler during World War II, and production continued in other countries into the 1950s for the private market.
Fieseler's entry was the most advanced in terms of STOL performance, by far.
Fieseler then offered the Fi 156B model which allowed for the retraction of the leading edge slats and a number of minor aerodynamic cleanups, boosting the speed to 208 km/h (130 mph).

 Fieseler Fi 167 History
The Fieseler Fi 167 was designed as the prime torpedo and reconnaissance bomber for German aircraft carriers.
With the beginning of the construction of the Graf Zeppelin in 1937, two aircraft producers, Fieseler and Arado, were ordered to produce prototypes for a carrier based torpedo bomber.
Like the famous Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, the Fi 167 had surprising slow speed capabilities, the plane would be able to land almost vertically on a moving aircraft carrier.

 Delta IV - Fieseler F3 Wasp   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Fieseler terminated the test flights in the fall of 1932.
The elevators (canards?) in front of the wing were retarding stalling in the midsection of the wing, allowing the outer sections of the wing to stall at smaller angles of attack, and this led to dangerous instability.
Near the conditions of maximum lift, the controls were not sufficiently responsive to compensate for this shift, and at the end of the test flights the airplane was seriously damaged during landing.

Gerhard Fieseler was credited with 22 aerial victories as a fighter pilot in World War I, and was one of Germany's greatest aerobatic pilots after the war.
Fieseler had planned a second more advanced version of the design, the Fi 156B, which would have had movable wing slats and other aerodynamic improvements to increase the top speed to about 130 mph.
The visitor explained that he had been part of the American forces who captured Fieseler at the end of the war, and that he had swept a number of photos and sketches off of Fieseler's desk to keep as souvenirs.

 Fieseler Fi 156 Storch in detail
What made the aircraft so remarkable was the short field takeoff and landing capability, possible because of the extremely low stalling speed of 32 mph.
In response to the 1935 Luftwaffe requirement for a general utility aircraft, Fieseler has designed the aircraft around a modern mechanized wing with full-length slats, fowler-type flaps increasing the wing area by 18 % and ailerons that dropped when the flaps were extended past 20 degrees.
Almost 2,900 Storchs were built between 1937 and 1945 by Fieseler Werke in Kassel and Morane-Saulnier in Puteaux, occupied France.

The Fieseler Storch is best known for its role in rescuing Benito Mussolini from the hotel where he was held in the Gran Sasso mountain range in September 1943.
It is believed that this particular Fieseler Storch was built by the Germans in 1942 and seized along with 144 others by the British forces after World War II.
The Fighter Factory’s Fieseler Storch has several clues, including French made wings, which lead us to believe that this plane was part of the 64 planes that were given to the French.

The concept of a pilotless winged missile was a response to heavy losses suffered by the German Air Force, Luftwaffe, during the Battle of Britain in 1940.
The Fieseler Fi 103 would be also the first operational vehicle equipped with the "air-breathing" pulsating jet engine, yet another variation of jet propulsion tried at the dawn of the aviation age.

A Fieseler Storch had arrived to pluck Benito Mussolini from one of the most impenetrable spots on earth.
Officially, the Fi-156 Fieseler Storch began in 1935 as Gerhard Fieseler's answer to an air ministry specification for a general purpose airplane that could take off and land in an extremely short distance.
Fieseler's chief designer, Reinhold Mewes, decided for ease of maintenance that the airplane should be completely conventional in its construction, and so utilized a steel tubing and fabric fuselage with wooden wings.

 Charles Bain on the Fieseler Fi167
The requirements of the German Navy before and during World War II spawned several intriguing aircraft, ranging from the famed Arado seaplanes to the less well known Fieseler Fi167.
The Fi167 was made to meet a requirement for a ship-based, two-seat aircraft, that was to serve as both a torpedo bomber and reconnaisance aircraft.
But under testing in late 1938, the Arado prototype (the Ar195) was unable to meet the requirements set out for it.
