The subject of this kit is the German liaison aircraft built during WW11, the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch. The Storch (German for "Stork") is famous for its STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) abilities and it had an incredibly low stall speed of only 31mph. It was mainly used during WW11 for reconnaissance, spotting for the army and forward operations, and medical evacuation. Its design incorporated hinged slats along the entire length of the wings leading edge and a hinged and slotted set of control surfaces ran along each trailing edge, this was split equally to form outboard ailerons and inboard flaps. Virtually nothing about the Storch is streamlined with bits sticking out everywhere including the side windows,  this with its long undercarriage hanging down gives it a unique long-legged bird look which is why it was given the name of "Storch".

Le B-17 Flying Fortress reste l'un des bombardiers alliés les plus célèbres de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Bien qu'il ait servi dans tous les théâtres de la guerre, c'est dans le théâtre d'opérations européen (ETO) avec la renommée 8th Air Force en particulier, que ce bombardier lourd robuste et bien armé s'est frayé un chemin dans les livres d'histoire.
