    ipdb.notes
    'Hit The Japs' was a conversion of Gottlieb's 1940 'Gold Star'. The earliest mention we have found for this conversion kit by name is in Victory Game's ad in Billboard 04/10/1943 p112. However, their first Billboard ad 10/03/1942 p79 implies this kit existed then, by advertising a conversion was available for 'Gold Star'. Their last Billboard ad for this kit was 02/10/1945 p74.
