Noodler's Aircorp Blue-Black Fountain Pen Ink — 3 oz

Noodler’s Aircorp Blue-Black commemorates the Flying Tigers—the American volunteer airmen who fought alongside the Chinese Air Force before the United States entered the Second World War. Its color sits somewhere between midnight and the sea seen from above: a deep blue-black that leans toward teal.

Part of Noodler’s partially bulletproof range, the ink is highly saturated, resistant to water and forgery once fully dry, and flows wetly. That generous flow means a slower dry time—thirty to fifty seconds in testing—so it suits right-handed writers or anyone content to wait, and it can be stubborn to clean from a pen, so regular rinsing is wise. For another water-resistant blue-black in the archive, see Noodler’s Massachusetts 54th.
