FW-190D “Dora” Tags — launching Thursday, April 9, 2026 at 1pm Chicago time. Striking original green tags to pick from that are remarkably preserved.

The tags are from a metal top flap from an Focke‑Wulf FW-190D, most likely an early D‑9 “Dora” variant from JG‑26. The construction details — notably the all‑metal upper skin and internal fittings — point to an early D‑9 production pattern rather than later FW-190D models such as the D‑11 and D‑12, which often received wooden flaps. The area of acquisition near the German/Dutch border and the all‑green flap most likely associate the flap with JG‑26.

The flap was sourced from an avid WW2 aviation historian and European collector, who recovered it near a German/Dutch border town. When acquired, it was heavily coated in roofing tar; we carefully and precariously removed the tar to reveal remarkably well‑preserved original green camouflage beneath. After conservation and stabilization, the panel was upcycled into TransportTags.

The FW-190D “Dora” was the late‑war, inline‑engine development of the Fw 190 family, improving high‑altitude performance and pilot visibility. JG‑26 operated FW-190s over the Channel and Western Front; recovered panels and parts in that border region often trace back to air combat and forced landings in late 1944–45.

More details to follow in the pre‑launch post.
