The value story
51 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 70 percent off across all of them, roughly 9 weeks apart. Today's $2.49 at 75 percent off still sits 152 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. On the same math LUFTRAUSERS ($9.99, scores 74) and Dogfight 1942 ($0.99, scores 56) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say
I got it very cheap so for the money I spent it was worth it. Arcade controls are somewhere between average and goofy (I'm more used to arcade controls like Blazing Angels). Simulation controls are incredibly challenging on a gamepad, haven't tried the joystick. Very aesthetically pleasing graphics; planes, ships and environments. Planes come apart and tumble in a pleasing way when shot down and there's no AI swarm...

I'm not done yet, I still have missions to go but could someone tell me how the heck do you beat the bomber before he drops his bombs
