Fi-156 Storch

 

The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch was a German liaison aircraft developed in the mid-1930s and became famous for its remarkable short takeoff and landing capabilities. First flown in 1936, the Storch was used during World War II for reconnaissance, liaison, and medical evacuation missions. Its large wings, fixed leading-edge slats, and long landing gear allowed it to fly at very low speeds. Around 2,900 aircraft were produced, and its distinctive appearance continues to attract aviation enthusiasts today. With its elegant lines and characteristic design, the Storch is also a popular subject in aviation art.
