The Convair B-36 Peacemaker, a massive strategic bomber, was the backbone of U.S. nuclear deterrence during the early Cold War. First flown on August 8, 1946, and entering service in 1948, it was the largest mass-produced piston-engine aircraft ever built. Powered by six Pratt & Whitney R-4360-53 Wasp Major radial engines and four General Electric J47 turbojets, it generated 40,800 horsepower, reaching 435 mph and a range of 10,000 miles. Its 230-foot wingspan and 162-foot length enabled it to carry 86,000 pounds of bombs, including nuclear payloads, at altitudes up to 48,000 feet. Designed for intercontinental missions without refueling, the B-36 served with the Strategic Air Command, embodying "peace through strength" until its retirement in 1959. Its size and complexity earned it the nickname "Big Stick."

These pen blanks are crafted from the authentic skin of B-36 Peacemaker, serial number 42-13571, preserving its monumental legacy. Perfect for historians, collectors, or aviation enthusiasts, they transform this Cold War giant into a unique writing instrument.

Serial Number 42-13571 History: Accepted in 1949 as a B-36A, 42-13571 was converted to a B-36B and later an RB-36E reconnaissance variant. Assigned to the 5th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing at Fairfield-Suisun (Travis) AFB, it was retired in 1957 to Fort Worth, Texas, and later scrapped, with parts preserved for posterity.
