	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.
		A Storch was the victim of the last dog fight on the Western Front and another was fittingly downed by a direct Allied counterpart of the Storch - a Piper L-4 Grasshopper-from the L-4's crew directing their pistol fire at it.
		During the war at least 60 Storchs were captured by the Allies, one becoming the personal aircraft of Field Marshal Montgomery.

	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.

		The Heller Storch is certainly not state of the art by some of today's kit's standards: it has a few raised panel lines, not too much interior detail but it is a decent kit.

		he Fieseler Storch (pronounced "Stork") was a remarkable aircraft when it entered service in 1937, being one of the first successful short takeoff and landing (STOL) designs in the world.

		The Storch is equipped with a very long-travel set of shock absorbers in its landing gear to handle rough terrain and hard landings.

		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.

		Originally designed in 1935 to perform the roles of casualty evacuation, army co-operation and liaison, the Storch (Stork) was noted for its remarkable STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) performance.
		The Luftwaffe operated the Storch in many theatres including the Arctic, the Western Desert, the Eastern Front and in Europe.
		Notable flights which made use of the Storch's ability to operate from very small, unprepared airstrips include the rescue of Mussolini from detention in a hotel in the Italian mountains and a flight into the centre of Berlin made in the last days of the war carrying General von Greim to a meeting with Hitler.

		This specification resulted in the Messerschmitt Bf 163 (similar to the Storch but with a variable-incidence wing), the Siebel Si 201 with a fully glazed two-seat nose cabin ahead of the pusher engine and single low-mounted tail boom and the FockeWulf Fw 186 autogyro.
		Instead, the Storch made use of large slotted flaps driven by rods in the wing roots, jackscrews in the leading edge root and, via sprockets and chains, a handwheel on the left of the cockpit.
		Even though Fieseler was increasingly required to produce Bf 109 and FockeWulf Fw 190 fighters, to shore up the failing German defences, the company still managed to deliver 484 Storchs in 1942, with a further 100+ coming from production in occupied France.

		The Storch was an interesting mix of long wings, spring-loaded leading edge slats, lightweight fabric-covered airframe built from tubular steel, greenhouse cabin, very rugged landing gear design, all powered by a 240 horsepower Argus engine.
		As a result, the Storch could take-off and climb like a homesick angel, but its top speed was less than 110 mph and cruise speed was 93.
		The Wehrmacht was a principal user of the Storch, but the Luftwaffe managed to obtain a number of these machines for their own support duties as well.

		The Fi 156 Storch got its name from its stalky, long-stroke undercarriage and steel-spring, oil-damping shock absorbers in a reverse pyramid handing from the fuselage.
		Powered by an eight-cylinder inverted-vee air-cooled Arug As 10C engine providing 240 horsepower at take-off and turning, this fixed wing, fixed landing gear aircraft was versatile and saw a number of them passed along to Germany's Bulgarian, Croatian, Finish, Hungarian, Italian, Rumanian, and Slovakian allies fighting along side German forces on the Eastern Front.
		It should be noted that there are no reported incidents of the F1 156 Storch flying night harassment missions over the front lines on the Eastern Front.

		Selected to gave German Army forces a plane with short takeoff and landing capabilities, the Storch was a superb plane, so that even some captured exemplars were used by RAF on the Mediterranean.
		During and after the war the plane was also built on license by France (Morane-Saulnier) and by Cekoslovakia (Mraz).
		Thanks to these astounding capabilities, it was largely used in linking, transport of officers, medevac, observation and recon, infiltration in enemy lines.
