It wasn't uncommon for the groups of people (or even a single person) in WWII Soviet Union to fundraise an aircraft production - and in soviet economic system it meant pretty much give away all their savings or even salaries willingly. Such aircrafts then went to the front bearing the signature as a gift from the ones who made its construction possible.
