The first patent for a ballpoint pen was given in 1888 to John Loud, a leather tanner who wanted a pen the could write on leather. Laszlo Biro, then a newspaper editor, came along in 1938 and invented the ballpoint pen because he disliked the mess associated with filling up fountain pens. He used the same ink that was used to print newspapers, as it dried quickly. Ballpoint pens were popular amongst pilots in WWII as they did not leak at high altitudes, like fountain pens do.
