Lazlo Biro invented it in 1938 and tried to get a patent that year.

He was successfully granted a patented in June 1943- in Argentina (!) - after he and brother emigrated there.

The British Govt licensed it, and the RAF were using the pens during WW2

Maybe she was nipping out of the attic, getting a Lysander to England, going on a night raid over Germany and then being flown back to the Netherlands in time to write the days account with a wondrous new pen.

As Sir Les - a true gent - would say 'Are you with me?”
