Hi all -

I had a very enjoyable day at the Heritage Flying Collection at KPAE on Saturday (full report to follow!). One little item which really caught my attention was a decal on the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, as seen in our pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/02sTJ.

Can anyone (perhaps our German members) explain the significance of this emblem? My first guess is that this was a forward air observation aircraft?

Thanks!
Steve

Summer Camo...

Bomb dropping Dutch??? It was a FO airplane. Couldn't tell you much about Observation Series airplanes.

Are you asking about the 'E' or something else?

Quite possibly Eindecker, monoplane

A unarmed reconaissance aircraft
B two-seater, with the observer seating in front of the pilot.
C two-seater, with the observer in the aft cockpit.
CL fast two-seater, multi-role aircraft
D 'Doppeldecker', biplane. Later: fighter, in general
E 'Eindecker', monoplane.
Dr 'Dreidecker', triplane.
G 'Grosskampfflugzeug', bomber
J ground-attack aircraft
K 'Kampfflugzeug', later redisgnated with a G.
R 'Riesenflugzeug', long-range bomber.

I was referring to the little bomb dropping dude (the 2nd picture in that album if you scroll down...)
