The Fi-156 Storch was one of the most recognizable aircraft of the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe during World War II. The design was created at the special request of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) in 1936, with serial production beginning in 1937. It served as a liaison aircraft, air ambulance, and reconnaissance machine in all theaters of war. The Storch's popularity led to continued licensed production after the war in countries such as France and Czechoslovakia.

The aircraft‘s characteristic gear profile in flight and its large glazed cockpits earned it the nickname "Crane."
