Fieseler was a WWI German fighter ace with almost 20 kills to his credit. The 1934 World Aerobatics Competition held in Paris was the first of its kind, and, despite the deaths of two pilots and a few crashes, the competition continued and Gerhard won, although he went over the time limit due to a loose harness. However, he was still awarded the win, beating his nearest competitor, Michel Detroyat of France (who flew an M.S.225), by 23 points (645.2 to 622.9). Fieseler retired from the sport with his victory. (references)

Gerhard worked at the company full time after winning the first World Aeronautics Competition(Championship) of 1934 in his Fieseler F2 Tiger, having previously one the 1932 European Aerobatic Championship, and the F5 was among the companies earliest big sellers. The F5 was powered by the Hirth HM60 engine. It competed with the Klemm 25, but with the F5's shorter wings and different handling that experience pilots preferred, it became quite popular.
