  Fieseler Fi 156 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch (stork) was a small liaison aircraft built by Fieseler before and 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 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 208km/h (130 mph).
A small run of C-0s were followed by the C-1 three-seater liaison version, and the C-2 two-seat observation plane with a MG 15 machine gun in the rear for defence.

 Fieseler Fi 156 Storch "Stork"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Best-known of all the Fieseler designs because of its extensive use during World War II, the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch (stork) was a remarkable STOL (short take-off and landing) aircraft that was first flown nearly 50 years ago on 24 May 1936.
The designation Fi 156C-1 applied to a variant intended to be deployed in liaison and staff transport roles, and the Fi 156C-2 was basically a two-crew reconnaissance version carrying a single camera.
The Fi 156C-3 was the first to be equipped for multi-purpose use, the majority of the type being powered by the improved Argus As l0P engines, this engine being standard in the generally similar Fi 156C-5 which had provision to carry an underfuselage camera or drop tank.

The Fi 156 Storch which was used extensively during the Second World war, was an outstanding plane for her short takeoff, and landing.
The Fi 156 was a braced high-wing monoplane, fully-metal constructed, the propulsion being ensured by an Argus V inverted engine.
The test-flights of the three first prototypes showed that their STOL capacity was very superior to what was expected by the builder, the Fi 156 being capable, under a light breeze, to take off in 60 meters; moreover, the plane was able to land on a distance of 20 meters.

Thixton, a skilled Storch pilot generous in his knowledge of the plane, taught a handful of younger CAF pilots to fly the Storch, one of which was Lanny Parcell.
Cullum declined the opportunity to ferry the Storch to Midland — he said he had flown that plane enough thank you very much — and since I was the only other CAF pilot qualified in the Fi 156 available, I accepted the honor.
The plane's landing gear extends about 18 inches in flight, and this, plus the long wing, does make it look like the long-legged bird, after which it is named.
