A bolt from the blue skies above Iceland, the Lockheed P-38 Lightning made its first strike against a German patrol bomber in August 1942. No one ever saw anything like it before - twin tails, supercharged engines, and nose-mounted machine guns. It was sleek, versatile, and faster than any fighter in the world at the time.
Even if you're an ace Retro 51 collector, you've never seen anything like this WWII aircraft-inspired pen. The Retro 51 "Lightning" retractable rollerball pen has a highly polished, stonewashed pewter finish. Acid-etched rivets and fuselage lines give the barrel a unique feel in hand. Invasion stripes and the National Star and Bar Insignia are printed on the metal finish. Yellow accents the nose and top disc of the knurled twist-top. This edition is limited to 520 pieces worldwide. Be sure to order yours quickly as this pen might be gone in a flash!
