Historical Context
The Fieseler Fi 156C Storch, affectionately known as the 'Stork', was a remarkable piece of engineering that revolutionized the art of STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) aviation. Though it might appear slender and delicate, this aircraft was a workhorse during its time, excelling in reconnaissance and liaison roles. It astounded pilots with its ability to operate from small, rugged fields — a game-changer in WWII.
