Re: Fi 156 "U"? ASW Version of the Storch?
During the stay with 1/706 in Aalborg-See, the 3 Fi 156 U was issued with flotation devices mounted over the front weels.
Fi 156 could only carry the beforementioned french waterbomb, called WBF by the Luftwaffe, and only one at a time, according to:
"Richtlinien für die Verwendung von Wasserbombem Mai 1941".
They were not transferred to Aalborg-Ost, but went there to be maintained. They still did operate from Aalborg-See.
In 1941 they were used to control minefields in Skagerrak, without much succes due to weather. And they were allways in company with a He 115.
