The DC-4 became the prime “heavy” transport for the U.S. Forces which carried men and material to every theater of WWII. After the war, the DC-4 became the main hero of the Berlin Airlift. With Berlin surrounded and cut off from the West, airlifting supplies of food and fuel was the only way to keep the population from starving or freezing to death. It is a favorite WWII airplane.

Flying United for Three Decades: Airbus A320 N404UA
When the Airbus A320 entered service, it marked a turning point in commercial aviation. United Airlines’ A320 N404UA spent nearly three decades as part of that legacy, flying thousands of routes before its retirement and preservation through PlaneTags.
USS Midway: A Legendary Aircraft Carrier and Its Lasting Legacy
Few ships in U.S. naval history have carried the weight, responsibility, and longevity of USS Midway.
More than an aircraft carrier, Midway is a symbol of American innovation, adaptability, and service. For nearly half a century, she sailed through some of the most defining moments of modern history, carrying generations of sailors and aviators who called her home.
At MotoArt, we believe stories like Midway’s deserve to be preserved with care. We are honored to be working on a special preservation project connected to USS Midway, and we look forward to sharing more as this story unfolds.
F-84 Thunderjet: A Frontline Jet Preserved for History
The F-84 Thunderjet represents a pivotal moment in aviation history, when the lessons of World War II met the realities of jet-powered warfare. Designed in the immediate postwar years, the Thunderjet became one of the first truly successful American jet fighter-bombers and went on to play a defining role during the Korean War. Today, thanks to decades of preservation and stewardship, this historic aircraft continues its story through PlaneTags.
