P-51 Mustang

The pen has a piece of aluminum from a USAAF  P-51D Mustang serial # 44-14379.  This particular P51-D was engaged in aerial combat with four German Me262 jet fighters on April 5, 1945. Lt. Cowley in this plane was hit and Lt. Cowley bailed out.  He landed safely in Belgium and returned to his unit.  This aircraft was excavated in 2006 and a piece of the aircraft was purchased and incorporated into the pen you see. The pen comes with a certificate of authenticity. The perfect gift for aviation enthusiasts. The pen cap features a highly detailed 3-blade propeller engine encased in a cowl. The pen clip is adorned with a classic two blade airplane propeller. The center band embodies the frontal view of a biplane including the support structures found on the wings and propellers appearing to be in motion. Finally, the pen tip features elongated cowl bumps to represent the added relief on the engine cylinders, while also providing you a comfortable grip. Includes a smooth writing Parker style refill.
