Fieseler Fi 156C Storch – Historical Information

The Fieseler Fi 156C Storch is a liaison, observation, and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the German company Fieseler in the 1930s. It entered service just before the outbreak of World War II – it was intensively used by the Luftwaffe from 1937 until the end of the war, and also by the Luftstreitkräfte as well as other Axis and neutral countries' air forces. Thanks to its remarkable STOL (short takeoff and landing) capabilities, the Fi 156C was able to operate in the most difficult front-line conditions, serving commanders for reconnaissance, evacuation of the wounded, and even carrying out significant missions – the most famous being the rescue of Benito Mussolini in 1943 (Operation Eiche).
