The Fieseler Fi 156, the "Storch", is one of the great classics of aviation history! While aircraft are usually supposed to be as fast as possible, the "Storch" shone with its outstanding slow flight performance! It achieved aeronautical feats that no other aircraft was even remotely capable of. With its short take-offs and almost spot landings, the "Storch" practically played the role of the helicopter, which at that time did not yet have frontal tyres.
Thus it proved itself on all fronts as a liaison and observation aircraft, as a medical aircraft and in many other operational roles that one would hardly think possible - up to and including the laying of field telephone cables in flight! All this fascinating history is conveyed in this richly illustrated volume with many original historical photos from all possible and impossible situations, with precise crack drawings (often in model building scales such as 1:72 and 1:48) and detailed drawings (e.g. cabin equipment with 30 numerically explained positions), supplemented by historical-technical background knowledge and detailed technical data. An outstanding illustrated book on an outstanding aircraft classic!
