Effectively a French-built Fieseler Storch, this MS-500 is thought to have been built in 1947, first serving the French AF in Vietnam and later being registered as F-BJQH. It became N42FS on import to the US by the Military Aircraft Restoration Corp in 1975 and is now on show to represent a Storch flown by the Italian Regia Aeronautica in North Africa in 1940 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
