[Answer] 7. On 15 December 1944, I boarded a single-engine Norseman aircraft at a military airstrip north of London. The plane took off for Paris, and I disappeared forever. Which famous bandleader am I?

...1. Count Basie 2. Joe Loss 3. Ted Heath 4. Glenn Miller Probably the most popular musician and bandleader of his time, Glenn Miller was to have led his United States Army Air Forces Band in a Christmas concert for Allied troops in liberated Paris. He decided to travel ahead of his band, despite heavy rain and fog. There was no search or enquiry into the disappearance and it was assumed that, because of poor weather conditions, the plane had gone down in the English Channel. No wreckage was ever discovered. Possibly because of the lack of an enquiry, various rumours circulated after Glenn Miller's disappearance. It was rumoured that he had died of a heart attack in a Paris brothel; or was hidden, disfigured after being shot down by the Germans; or had been terminated as a German spy.

The village has remained empty as a memorial.

[Ans] Who created the ballpoint pen in 1944?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who created the ballpoint pen in 1944?"



...A ball point pen is a pen that uses a small rotating ball made of brass, steel, or tungsten carbide to disperse ink as you write. All of the pens that preceded the ballpoint -- whether quill, metal or fountain -- used a watery, dark india ink that fed through the pen using capillary action. How does a ball point pen work?

 Why was the ballpoint pen invented? The first patent for a ballpoint pen was issued on 30 October 1888, to John J. Loud, who was attempting to make a writing instrument that would be able to write "on rough surfaces-such as wood, coarse wrapping-paper, and other articles" which then-common fountain pens could not.
