Simple and clear mechanics of the game are able to fascinate you for hours of fun. Fasten your seat belts, put on your helmet, goggles and get ready for a flight. Your trouble-free heavy machine gun and your favorite bombs will surely lead you to success. Your seemingly simple warplane is capable to force to reckon with yourself and become a real bomber, bringing destruction to your enemies from behind the clouds or hitting targets in the midst of the clear sky. You are not holding a simulator - you are holding in your hands some stunning explosions, air chases, incessant shots and fantastic air pirouettes. Game features: * Dynamics of a classic old school plane game Sopwith Camel. This is really cool plane game. * Convenient and elegant controls of your aircraft. * Detailed training will remove all ambiguities. * Shoot a machine gun at the enemy and drop bombs at him, and at the same time dodge both enemy bullets and bombs and sometimes your own. * Various enemies with various levels of aggressiveness and artificial intelligence.
