The release of our first Messerschmitt PlaneTag offers something a little different – the chance for our aviation enthusiasts to assist in the restoration and preservation of aviation history. Proceeds from the sale of these authentic Bf 109 PlaneTags will be donated to the Spirit of Flight Foundation in support of their mission to restore the notorious Bf 109 Messerschmitt, Werk Nummer 10145, as well as their charitable work.
The 10145 was built in Leipzig, Germany in 1942, serving as a Norwegian patrol aircraft which flew the Murmansk sector of Russia. The aircraft was shot down in aerial combat with multiple Soviet fighters during an escort mission for Ju 88 bomber aircraft on July 19th, 1942. The aircraft was flown by FW. Leopold Knier, who bailed out at an altitude of about 3000 meters after it was crippled by the Soviet P-40. The aircraft remained in Northern Russia until it was rescued by Warbird Recovery in the winter of 1994, and is currently under restoration for the Spirit of Flight Foundation.

*Important Notice – Please Read Carefully
PlaneTags are made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal. Because PlaneTags are made from real fuselage, each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut and it is therefore rare to create two identical PlaneTags. These variations and imperfections are not product flaws. They are part of the beauty of PlaneTags. As a result, you will not have an option to select the color of your PlaneTag. The images on this website are provided for reference only and should not be used as the sole basis for choosing a particular PlaneTag.
United StatesI love the WW2 aircraft and love how we can own a piece of such history. very clean and simple tag for WW2 aviation fans.
This was one of the two plane tags from my first order. Big fan of historical aircraft, especially WWII era ones. Have seen so many in museums and collections including ones flying which includes a flyable Bf 109 in a local collection. Like most people, no way could I ever afford one of these precious aircraft but the plane tags allows us to own a piece of one. Was so pleased with receiving this plane tag and starting my collection.
Truly love the bare metal skin of this tag of an aircraft with such history.
United StatesThis is a great piece of aviation history. I got two of these tags and they are both different. On is very scratched aluminum, while the other is a darker and very patina tag. Definitely recommend!!!
GermanyLiving just a few miles south of the former Messerschmitt production plant at Augsburg-Haunstetten I just had to add this tag to my collection - just awesome to hold an original piece of the 'Augsburg Eagle', as the '109 was called, in my hands. The delicate etching of the plane's top view on the tag is outstanding!
United StatesAmazing tag! I purchased this one for a gift for my father and he absolutely loves it!
AustraliaWhat an amazing piece of WW2 history. There's obviously the fair share of U.S. and Allied WW2 aircraft tags available but German ones are definitely harder to come by. The absolute beast of the Wehrmacht from the late 1930s this aircraft piece sits with my Zero on the 'Axis' aisle.
United StatesI honestly had no idea it was possible to own a piece of history of a famous WW 2 aircraft and at the same time help preserve other WW 2 aircraft in the process! The story behind the 109 was amazing to find out and owning a skin of this war bird is truly incredible as there is only 5,000 in the world that can say that! What an amazing site and company to offer a piece of aircraft history that fits in your hand!
AustraliaThis planetag was one I had been saving up for and boy did it not disappoint! Being able to hold a piece of history that effected the globe is an incredible feeling, so thank you!
United StatesBy my count, I've purchased 24 PlaneTags: 5 Commercial, 1 General, and 18 Vintage. The Vintage tags are part of my "multi-media" airplane collection. For the Bf 109 I have artist Stan Stoke's print "Defiant, But Doomed" which shows pilot Adolf Galland's yellow-nosed Bf 109E, Galland's signature on the print, Galland's autobiography "The First and the Last", a Hobby Master diecast model of Galland's Bf 109E, and best of all, an Bf 109 PlaneTag. The PlaneTag is great!
SingaporeSuch a historical plane. Great release MA.
New ZealandReally happy with the product and service, a great way to own a piece of WW2 history. I love the back story on the aircraft giving an even more in-depth look into the history of the aircraft, I will definitely be getting more products in the future keep up the good work. the only problem I have is I wished I had the whole aircraft not just a small piece.
United StatesWell made and I enjoy the included history and individual story of the aircraft.
United StatesI like the item I purchased. I had planned on buying more but the prices are getting stupidly expensive for a piece of metal. I sincerely doubt I will be purchasing more. More power to you if you can sell them at that price, but I don’t think they are worth the money.
PolandI am not using it. It is a piece of art. I amplanning another one to use.
MexicoThis is the second PlaneTag I've bought, and it is quite nice. It is (obviously) thicker than the other two I got -both from the A6M3- and, as with the others, the rounded finish of the sides feels smooth and pleasant to the touch. If there's something to be improved, it would be the engraving/stamping of the information on the metal. While the first PlaneTag I bought (a... mildly olive grey A6M3 plaque) has information flush to the metal, in this one you can feel it was painted on. Not much of an issue if you plan on displaying this item on a shelf (as I will), but if you do plan to use it on a circumstance in which it will face some wear and tear, I don't know how much the drawing of the airplane and the information on the front of the tag will last for.
United StatesVery interesting piece of WWII history. Thanks for saving for posterity. Used for display only.
United KingdomWell made and showing authentic age and rust stains - a very fascinating piece of history.
CanadaVery attractive authentic finish on the front and back with high polished sides, very beautiful especially if you're lucky enough to get a thick tag
CanadaIt was a present
