Air Command

The Air Command pinball machine is a one-of-a-kind, all-pneumatic/hydraulic pinball built by Clippard Manufacturing at a reported cost of $35,000. Its manufacturer, year of production, and theme beyond its unusual construction are not documented, leaving much about its origins unknown.

As the only known unit of its kind, Air Command's use of pneumatic and hydraulic systems in place of conventional electromechanical or solid-state components makes it a singular technical curiosity in pinball history, representing a significant investment and engineering effort for a single machine.

With so few details recorded about its gameplay, design, or intended purpose, Air Command remains an object of fascination for pinball collectors and historians, its rarity as a one-off prototype ensuring it retains a unique place in the hobby's history.
