The Storch was an important STOL reconnaissance and
liaison aircraft operated by the Luftwaffe during World War 11. It was
built in a number of sub-variants including the Fi.156C-1 staff
transport and liaison aircraft; the Fi.156C-2 ambulance aircraft, and
the Fi.156C-3 utility transport. During the war it was also built by
Mraz(150* built) in Czechoslovakia and by Morane-Saulnier(784 built) in
France. Both of these companies continued to build the type after the
war as the Mraz K-65 Cap and the Morane-Saulnier MS 502 Criquet. About
20 remain airworthy including Criquets and Caps.
