A Fieseler Fi 156 ‘Storch’ suddenly appeared in a box. In 1935, the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM), Reich Aviation Ministry issued a request for a new Luftwaffe aircraft suitable for liaison, army co-operation (Forward Air Control), and medical evacuation. To meet this request, Fieseler designed the Fi-156 Storch (Stork). The first Storch prototype flew in 24 May 1936 and was accepted for use, with the first production aircraft going into service in mid-1937. The Storch achieved incredible short take-off and landing (STOL) performance by using a fixed slat over the leading edge of the wing and full length slotted camber-changing flaps along the trailing edge. In a light breeze, the Storch could take off in just 200 feet and land in about 66 feet. In flight, the long main landing gear hung down, giving the aircraft the appearance of a very long-legged, big-winged bird, hence its nickname, Storch. Because of the unique flight qualities of the Fieseler Storch, this aircraft was found on every front throughout the European and North African theaters of operation in the Second World War. In April 1942, the French company, Morane-Saulnier, now operating under German control, began to manufacture a number of German aircraft types. The Morane-Saulnier plant at Puteaux, in the suburbs of Paris, France, was directed to build the Storch. In October 1943, the Fieseler Werke in Kassel, Germany started producing the Folke Wulf FW-190 and production of all Storch types were shifted to France. At the same time, production was commenced at Leichtbau Budweis in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (better known as Czechoslovakia). Leichtbau Budweis built one Storch in 1943 and 72 the following year, before production was transferred to another Czech firm, Benes-Mraz in Chozen, where it was built under the name K-65 Cap. Some 141 aircraft were built before the end of the Second World War, and a total of 925 aircraft were built before the end of the production by Morane- Top: Fieseler Fi-156 Storch; Middle: Storch fuselage emerging from its shipping Saulnier in 1965. q container; Bottom: Storch wings being unloaded from the trailer If you haven’t been to the museum lately let’s update New Things are Happening at the Museum, Part 1 you on the latest changes with our staff.

PAGE 4 VOLUME 12, ISSUE 3 Thomas-Morse S-4 ‘Scout’ is Ready to Fly at the WWI Air Show Compiled By Felix Usis When the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917, the US Army lacked a practical scout plane to span the gap between primary trainers, the Curtiss JN-4 and front-line fighters like the Sopwith, Spad, and Nieuports. That deficiency and the need for a practical American-made fighter served as the primary motivation for the development and fast- tracked production of the Thomas-Morse S-4 Scout. The Scout was designed to fill the void. The Scout was the standard single-seat advanced-trainer used by the US Air Service (USAS) during the Great War (1914- 1918). Dubbed the "Tommy" by pilots who flew it, the aircraft became the favorite single-seat training airplane produced in the U.S. during World War I. The museum’s Thomas-Morse S-4C was likely built in early 1918 with plate number 481. It has been restored to its original form as an S-4C pursuit trainer with an 80 horsepower Le Rhône 9-C 9-cylinder rotary engine. It is now in an airworthy condition with a tail number of N38663. It has been painted in what is believed to be its original colors as USAS 38663. Its flight history is still being researched. When it was declared surplus at Rockwell Field, in San Diego, it had only 29 hours and 32 minutes of flight time. Above: A close up of the According to previous owner Roger Freeman, Thomas-Morse 'Scout' by artist this “Tommy” was first acquired by his father, Terry Jones.

With more than double the number of campers, nearly 80 children learned about and experienced piloting, drones and aircraft handling. Stan Bialas greets the pilots from WAVY News Chopper 10 during Warbirds Summer Camp in July The Gift Shop has added two new part-time staff to help during the summer tourist bustle.

  • The Messerschmitt That Crashed Twice and They Struggled Onwards in a South Eastern Direction
    The Messerschmitt that crashed twice and they struggled onwards in a south eastern direction. The crew knew that they would not make it back to France and were also aware that they would have to make an emergency landing sometime soon. Landing on one engine could be very hazardous, let alone the possibility of having to come down on uneven farmland. At about 04.25 hours an unidentified aeroplane was seen in close proximity to a Hurricane and Blenheim that were circling Steeple Morden airfield. It was a bright moonlit night, but no positive identification could be made of this unannounced visitor. A signal lamp was used to challenge the aircraft, whereupon it almost immediately fired a red/yellow coloured flare and proceeded to make a landing. Just after it came down the starboard undercarriage collapsed, slewing the aircraft round slightly and damaging the starboard radiator, wing tip, propeller and tail plane. RAF personnel ran over to assist and then made the incredible discovery 19 JULY 1941 that it was German Junkers 88 and proceeded to gather and disarm the crew. Some publications incorrectly state that the crew tried to take off and that they landed by Messerschmitt Bf 109F-2 Pilot: accident due to being disorientated. ES906 Flying Officer M. J. Skalski - killed It is also mentioned that the Junkers 88 was fired upon by an Armadillo Air Fighting Development Unit armoured car, and was thus damaged, preventing take off, this is also incorrect.

  • Fieseler Fi 156 Storch
    Jahrzehntelang behaupteten viele „Fachautoren“, die Fi 156 D-IKVN sei der erste Prototyp des „Storch“ gewesen. Tatsächlich handelte es sich bei der Maschine aber um eine Fi 156 B-0 (W.Nr. 625), die vom Hersteller als Vorführflugzeug benutzt wurde. Der Fieseler „Storch“ – wie er wirklich entstanden ist Von Dipl.Ing. Karl Kössler (ADL) 11.2014 durchgesehene und ergänzte Fassung der Erstveröffentlichung in JET+PROP Nr. 3 / 1992 Es ist schon viel (darunter leider sehr viel Falsches!) über das Flugzeug Fi 156 geschrieben worden, das unter seinem Namen „Storch“ buchstäblich weltberühmt geworden ist, genau so wie vorher schon Gerhard Fieseler selbst, der Kunstflugweltmeister von 1934, in dessen Betrieb in Kassel-Bettenhausen dieses wohl einmalige Flugzeug von 1935 an entstanden ist. Es soll hier versucht werden, die wirkliche Entstehungsgeschichte dieser so ganz auf Zweckmäßigkeit abge- stellten Konstruktion wiederzugeben, die eigentlich alles andere als schön ist, die aber gleichzeitig in seltsa- mer Weise fasziniert. Ich kann mich noch sehr gut an den tiefen Eindruck erinnern, den seinerzeit die Dreiseitenansicht und das danebenstehende Bild des Flugzeugs in steiler Steigfluglage auf mich machten, als ich beides als Vierzehnjähriger im damaligen „Wörterbuch des Flug- wesens“ [1] zum erstenmal zu sehen bekam. Es war, auf den ersten Blick erkennbar, ein in jeder Beziehung aus dem Rahmen des Üblichen fallendes Flugzeug. Diese Faszination ist geblieben, bis heute. Nicht nur, daß ich das Flugzeug schon -zigmal in allen möglichen Maßstäben als Modell gebaut habe, zuerst aus Lindenholz, später aus dem inzwischen das Feld völlig beherrschenden Kunststoff, sondern es kam (seit 1960) auch noch das gelegentliche Fliegen mit dem Original hinzu, das die Begeisterung für die- ses Flugzeug nur noch verstärkte.

    HELP FROM ABOVE Air Force Close Air Support of the Army 1946–1973 John Schlight AIR FORCE HISTORY AND MUSEUMS PROGRAM Washington, D. C. 2003 i Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Schlight, John. Help from above : Air Force close air support of the Army 1946-1973 / John Schlight. p. cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. 1. Close air support--History--20th century. 2. United States. Air Force--History--20th century. 3. United States. Army--Aviation--History--20th century. I. Title. UG703.S35 2003 358.4'142--dc22 2003020365 ii Foreword The issue of close air support by the United States Air Force in sup- port of, primarily, the United States Army has been fractious for years. Air commanders have clashed continually with ground leaders over the proper use of aircraft in the support of ground operations. This is perhaps not surprising given the very different outlooks of the two services on what constitutes prop- er air support. Often this has turned into a competition between the two serv- ices for resources to execute and control close air support operations. Although such differences extend well back to the initial use of the airplane as a military weapon, in this book the author looks at the period 1946- 1973, a period in which technological advances in the form of jet aircraft, weapons, communications, and other electronic equipment played significant roles. Doctrine, too, evolved and this very important subject is discussed in detail. Close air support remains a critical mission today and the lessons of yesterday should not be ignored. This book makes a notable contribution in seeing that it is not ignored.
