Frequently Asked Questions — Fieseler
What is the Fieseler Storch and why is it valuable?
The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch is one of WWII's most famous aircraft — a STOL liaison plane that could take off in under 200 feet and land within 50 feet. About 2,900 were built (1937–1945). It famously rescued Mussolini from a mountain prison in 1943. Surviving Storchs are highly prized warbird collectibles, with numerous flight-worthy examples still operating in the 21st century.
Can you still fly a Fieseler Storch?
Yes — a number of Storchs remain airworthy worldwide. The aircraft's remarkable STOL capability (31 mph stall speed) makes it practical for grass strips and fly-ins. Many survivors have been re-engined with more reliable powerplants. French-built Morane-Saulnier MS.500/502 Criquet versions (license-built Storchs) are sometimes more available than original German-built aircraft. Prices reflect extreme rarity and WWII historical significance.
What makes the Storch's STOL performance so exceptional?
The Storch achieved its legendary short-field performance through full-span automatic leading-edge slats, slotted flaps that deflect to 80 degrees, and long-stroke landing gear legs that absorb rough-field landings. The combination produces a stall speed of just 50 km/h (31 mph). No other WWII aircraft could match its ability to operate from confined spaces — a capability that directly influenced post-war STOL aircraft design.
