ipdb.notes
IPDB 'Shangri-La' is a conversion of Genco's 1939 'Mr. Chips'. It commemorates the famous Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 which was the United States' first air strike of Japan following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. When news of the mission broke, President Franklin Roosevelt was asked by reporters to identify the base from which our fighting planes originated. Not wanting to make that detail public, he replied, 'They came from our new secret base at Shangri-La.' Shangri-La was actually a mythical place in James Hilton's 1933 novel Lost Horizon, which became a movie in 1937 and again in 1973. Hilton also wrote Good-bye, Mr Chips, a probable basis for the name of the Genco game used to make this pinball conversion. used
