Historical Notes
'Raven' was the first pinball machine from any manufacturer to use a photograph for a backglass or translite. Designer John Trudeau said this game was his homage to Williams' 1980 'Firepower' and the name 'Raven' came from the code word used in the Hollywood movie 'Rambo'. Artist Don Marshall told us the helicopter used in the backglass was actually a Reconnaissance Helicopter that was being used for traffic reporting. A couple of weeks after the photo shoot, that exact Helicopter crashed and the pilot tragically died. Larry Day told us he did the art for the playfield and cabinet, and Don Marshall did the photographic translite.
