Fi 156 "U"? ASW Version of the Storch?
Hi;
I'm doing some research on the Fieseler Fi 156U, a version of the Storch that was equipped with bomb racks allegedly for anti-submarine warfare. Seems that one aircraft (Fi 156C-2, callsign CQ+QS) was converted to this purpose, but other than a few pictures in the "In Action" and Wydawnictwo books on this aircraft, there is very little other information that I have been able to find.
Especially confusing are the photos in the Wydawnictwo book (Fi 156: volume 2 of 2) as the top two photos seem to be of a rack or antenna of some sort attached to the landing gear support? The other photos of the 156U don't show enough of this aircraft to determine if this is indeed mounted on this particular aircraft, or just mistakenly included with the "U" pictures.
Anyone have any info on this variant, or can direct me to more photos of this aircraft? I'd greatly appreciate any help or direction......
Paul
