Introduced in the late 1930s, the Fi156C Storch quickly became an indispensable utility aircraft for the German military. Its ability to take off and land in under 60 metres made it ideal for forward-area operations, even on improvised strips. Serving on all fronts from Europe to North Africa and the Eastern Front, the Storch proved a unique and reliable asset in varied combat environments.
