This is the game (by Accolade I think) where you fly a B-24
and try to reduce the German oil production at Ploeste.

It's more of a simulation kind of thing, and not a 3-d real-time
shoot-em-up.

Just wondering if anyone out there had actually played this and
what they thought of it.  I'm considering getting it for my
father, who actually flew these things.  [His best story involves
hitting a brewery by mistake (his excuse being that smokestacks look
pretty much the same from high enough altitudes), but I'm not sure whether 
I should believe him or not. After all, he was the pilot, not the bombardier,
and I can't imagine he'd be flying low enough to see beer foam running 
through the streets, as he claims.]

Is it worth the $30 or so that the local B. Dalton's wants for it?
