The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch was a short take-off and landing (STOL) reconnaissance, observation, and liaison aircraft, widely used by the Luftwaffe from 1937 to 1945, i.e., during World War II. The aircraft was notable for its excellent performance at low speeds, making it ideal for use on the Eastern Front, North Africa, or Europe during casualty evacuations, officer transport, and special missions.
