Historical Information: The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch was a German liaison and reconnaissance aircraft, widely used by the Luftwaffe from 1937 to 1945, during the Second World War. It stood out thanks to its excellent STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) performance, being one of the few airplanes capable of operating from short, unprepared airfields. The Storch played a key role in rescue operations (including the extraction of Mussolini from Gran Sasso) as well as many reconnaissance and command missions. It was also used by the armies of Italy, Hungary, France, and other Axis countries.
