Orville and Wilbur Wright built the Military Flyer for the U.S. Army Signal Corps; it passed its government trials in 1909 and became the first aeroplane the U.S. military ever bought. Today the Retro 51 Wright Brothers rollerball turns that piece of aviation history into a pen you can carry every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA drawing you can hold\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel of the Retro 51 Wright Brothers rollerball carries a printed technical drawing of the Wright Military Flyer, with its twin propellers and fabric-covered wings, on a soft matte finish.
