		Parker, who wisely prepared during the seven years of plenteousness for the seven years of dearth (even if it was more like five years), were well equipped to face the times.

	LOOKING AT MERGERS THE WAY FEDERAL REGULATORS DO

	Design Features: The Flighter
		As early as 1943, Kenneth Parker had been pushing the company toward development of a fountain pen that would work better — especially in terms of resisting leakage — at high altitudes.
		Not if by “Flighter” we mean a pen that was specifically designed to be flight safe, or if we restrict the Flighter name (as we properly should) to Parker’s own pens.
		And because modern pens without breather tubes generally have excellent buffering capacity and little or no tendency to eject ink under pressure changes, the need for specific flight-safety features is essentially moot.
