Bombardier

Bombardier is a 1943 electro-mechanical conversion kit from Victory Games, adapting Genco's 1941 'Victory' into a wartime-themed pinball. It first appears in a Victory Games advertisement in Billboard on October 2, 1943; the kit remained in Victory's ads as late as October 1946, when the company raised prices on its conversion kits from $9.50 to $12.50 each.

As a flipperless conversion kit, Bombardier reused the mechanical layout of Victory's 'Victory' pinball beneath new wartime-themed artwork, part of a broader trend of manufacturers retheming existing equipment to match the patriotic mood of the home front during World War II.

Specific details about Bombardier's artwork and gameplay features are not well documented, but as a surviving example of the many quick wartime conversion kits produced by Victory Games, it offers a window into how the pinball industry adapted operations during the war years.
