The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighter/ground-attack aircraft was one of WW II’s most famous fighters. The P-40 was easier to build and maintain than the other USAFF fighters at the time, and was in large-scale production such that nearly 14,000 were built by 1944, making it one of the most produced American fighters. It remained on the frontline until the war’s end. Known for its fierce “shark mouth” nose art and its versatility, it was used by most Allied countries. The famous Flying Tigers flew the P-40s in the Pacific theater and achieved notable success defending China and attacking Japan, helping to turn the tide for the Allies.
41-13297, which comprises most of the material used in the PlaneTag, survived a wheels-up landing and Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. It later crashed during a patrol mission over Oahu and remained there until it was rediscovered in 1985. It is currently being restored. Additional material was provided by Pima Air & Space Museum , taken from re-skinning P-40 wings during restorations.
Pima Air Museum restores numerous aircraft and have been collecting P-40 material for decades. In conjunction with the Pima Air Museum, and other restoration projects, MotoArt is using original skin material from several aircraft to bring you these exclusive P-40 PlaneTags. As such, this skin material cannot be specifically matched to which aircraft it was taken.

I love it!.......
My dad was born on Oahu before Pearl Harbor, and his dad, an Army mechanic, sat my dad in a P-40 during the war. I gave him the tag from a plane that may have been around when he was there. I got one for myself too. Very cool.
I have plenty of PlaneTags, but this is probably my favorite. The patina gives it tremendous character, and the history of the airframes the metal came from is fascinating.
Bought this for my wife’s birthday. She absolutely loves it!
I am a fan of the P-40 but living on O'ahu, I felt compelled to purchase this. It is a cool piece of history to touch and own. The plane was involved in the events of December 7th. 1941, which adds more prominence. Ordering was quick, easy and delivery was fast. I am very happy with my tag and may order another!
Quick shipping as always. I love that they provide the backstory of this plane.
Another great historic Tag !!!
I’m a vintage aircraft enthusiast and my company was founded by pilots who flew p40s during WW2. I now own an original part of that history.
Great!! Fantastic Idea to give folks a chance to own a piece of history.
The Planetags are great and as a Pilot and RC flyer they remind me of the history of aviation. I’m looking for a P-51 Planetag.
Planetags are addictive!! Such a cool idea and gives me a chance to own a piece of real history. I have 6 now and am constant looking for my next “must have” plane tag.
I absolutely love these things, it’s great owning a peace of history.
I half expected getting a bare metal tag but was very surprised and happy to get a section with the paint, wonderful addition to my collection.
The P-40 is one of my all time favorite Planes and this Plane Tag is a Treasured item.
Love-Love-LOVE PLANETAGS!!! What a GREAT idea for aviation enthusiasts that appreciate the history behind the iconic aircraft preserved “in perpetuity” in the form of these beautifully crafted tags/artwork. I love my now squadron-sized collection and look forward to adding more pieces as new and unique aircraft become available! BRAVO ZULU Planetags!!!
