| Fieseler Fi 156 Storch demo 1938 |
 |
In 1935, the RLM (Reichsluftfahrtministerium,
Reich Aviation Ministry) put out a tender for
a new Luftwaffe aircraft (suitable for
liaison, army co-operation today called
Forward Air Control), and medical evacuation,
as required to several companies. Penned by
chief designer Reinhold Mews and technical
director Erich Bachen, Fieseler's entry was
the most advanced in terms of STOL
performance, by far. A fixed slat ran along
the entire leading edge of the long wings,
while the trailing edge, inspired by earlier
1930s Junkers aircraft wing control surface
designs, including the ailerons, was a hinged
and slotted flap. The wings could be folded
back along the fuselage, allowing it to be
carried on a trailer or even towed slowly
behind a vehicle. The long legs of the
landing gear contained oil and spring shock
absorbers that compressed about 450 mm (18
inches) on landing, allowing the plane to set
down almost anywhere. In flight they hung
down, giving the aircraft the appearance of a
very long-legged, big-winged bird, Hence its
nickname, Storch. With its very low landing
speed the Storch often landed "at place" or
even backwards, in case of wind from directly
ahead.
The first Fi 156 V1 prototype flew in the
spring of 1936. It was powered by a 180 kW
(240 hp) inverted-vee Argus As 10C V8 engine,
which gave the plane a top speed of only 175
km/h (109 mph), enabling the Storch to fly as
slow as 50 km/h (32 mph), take off into a
light wind in less than 45 m (150 ft), and
land in 18 m (60 ft). It was followed up by
the second V2 prototype and third V3
prototypes, the ski-equipped V4, plus one V5
and ten Fi 156A-0 pre-production aircraft. It
was immediately ordered into production by
the Luftwaffe with an order for 16 planes,
and the first Fi 156A-1 production aircraft
entered service in mid-1937.
Fieseler then offered the Fi 156B, which
allowed for the retraction of the leading
edge slats and had a number of minor
aerodynamic cleanups, boosting the speed to
208 km/h (130 mph). The Luftwaffe didn't
consider such a small difference to be
important, and Fieseler instead moved on to
the main production version, the C.
The Fi 156C was essentially a "flexible"
version of the A model. A small run of C-0s
were followed by the C-1 three-seater liaison
version, and the C-2 two-seat observation
type (which had a rear-mounted MG 15 machine
gun for defense). Both models entered service
in 1939. In 1941, both were replaced by the
"universal cockpit" C-3, suited to any role.
Last of the Cs was the C-5, a C-3 with a
belly hardpoint a camera pod or drop tank.
Some were fitted with skis, rather than
wheels, for operation on snow.
Other versions of the Fi 156 were the
C-3/Trop, which was a tropicalised version of
the Fi 156C-5, and the Fi 156D which was an
air ambulance version. The first two Fi 156D
models were the D-0 pre-production aircraft,
and the D-1 production aircraft, powered by a
an Argus As 10P engine. Ten Fi 156E
pre-production aircraft were fitted with
tracked landing gear. The Fi 256 was a
five-seat civil version, only two were built
at the Morane-Saulnier factory at Puteaux in
France.
The Storch could be found on every front
throughout the war. It will probably always
be most famous for its role in the rescue of
deposed Italian dictator Benito Mussolini
from a boulder-strewn mountain top near Monte
Cassino, surrounded by Italian troops. German
commando Otto Skorzeny dropped with 90
paratroopers onto the peak and quickly
captured it, but the problem remained of how
to get back off. A Focke Achgelis Fa 223
helicopter was sent, but it broke down en
route. Instead, pilot Walter Gerlach flew in
a Storch, landed in 30 m (100 ft), took
aboard Mussolini and Skorzeny, and took off
again in under 80 m (250 ft), even though the
plane was overloaded. The involved Storch
rescuing Mussolini bore the radio code
letters, or Stammkennzeichen, of "SJ + LL" in
motion picture coverage of the daring rescue.

| Christina Aguilera - F.U.S.S. (F*ck You Scott Storch) |
 |
On her new track, the evocatively named
"F.U.S.S.," Christina sings: "I thought I
knew who you were, I see now you were a
lesson to learn." And then: "This song is for
you to remind you / that I moved on ... looks
like I didn't need you." Storch bristles in
response: "It's pretty pathetic that she
would do a song like this." The producer told
In Touch magazine: "I worked on half of her
last CD and sold her millions of copies.
Obviously, she cares more than I do that I
didn't do this album. "But I can't blame her,
with an album full of fillers, oversinging
and lame Vegas-like cabaret music." Storch
adds: "You should fire your management for
letting me slip through your fingers."
