Summary
The 390th Bombardment Group in Tuscon, Arizona, was actually consulted on this budget-priced, arcade-style, airborne shooting gallery in which the player goes for high scores by nailing as many German planes as possible in a series of short "mission" stages.

Critic Reviews9
Ultimately, despite the mission briefings and added element of switching cockpits and taking over as the bombardier, the game still gets repetitive.

It is a glorified rail shooter, in the vein of Virtua Cop 2, among others.

The title has some decent graphics and sound, but amazingly, is less fun to play than good old B-17 Bomber on the Intellivision. Not only that, but it's not very realistic, either.
