The Storch was probably the best observation and liaison plane of World War II. The Storch (stork) grew from a 1935 Luftwaffe design specification for a short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft. Although made for “communication, liaison, and feeder-service” the plane would be used for many tasks including reconnaissance, artillery spotting, aircrew recovery, air ambulance missions, and some light bombing.
Almost 2,900 aircraft were built and served on all fronts from the Arctic to North Africa. Many famous people were associated with the Storch during World War II: Erwin Rommel used it extensively, Winston Churchill flew in one; the Nazi rescue of Benito Mussolini culminated in a dramatic Storch take-off; and Hanna Reitsch, a famous German test pilot, flew Göering’s replacement into Berlin in April 1945 hoping to take Hitler out of the city.
