Bomber

The 1943 Bomber is an electro-mechanical pinball machine of uncertain manufacture; extensive research has failed to confirm which company produced it, and it should not be confused with Chicago Coin's later, unrelated 1951 machine of the same name (Chicago Coin ceased pinball production during WWII and did not resume until 1945).

As a single-player EM machine from the war years, Bomber's gameplay features are not well documented, but as with other pinball machines from this period, it likely relied on relays and solenoids typical of early-1940s electromechanical design, with play centered on skillful plunging and nudging rather than flipper control.

Little information exists about Bomber's designer, artwork, or theme, and its manufacturer remains unidentified. Its rarity and the mystery surrounding its origins make it a subject of ongoing interest for pinball historians researching wartime-era machines.
