From the Store description:

Not wishing to be picky, but since when did B-17s have radar and guided rockets? However, that's a cheap shot since Turret Commander is actually quite a lot of fun, beautifully atmospheric within the parameters of its game mechanic. Lighting effects, animations and sound all add up to adrenaline and a surprising degree of immersion.
Here's Turret Commander in action:
It's WWII Jim, but not as you know it... One bomber that has to get through, 50 fighters at a time trying to shoot you down. Gulp....
The bottom left of the screen acts as a trackpad, the rest of the screen is one big firing trigger - it's a nice system and well done. The indicators top-right show how ammunition supply, gun heat, and more....
Other controls are for temporary gun repairs and for (ahem) guided rockets! Note also the lovely lighting effects, with reflections from the shiny metal of your guns.
Yes, you read that right. You need to shoot down a fighter every ten seconds on average. Happily, they swarm around in an intense cluster, so the mission is achievable. Of course, they're shooting at you too, though the difficulty level of the game is slight at first.
As you destroy planes, they break and collapse in very satisfying explosions, there's a very visceral feel to Turret Commander. The bars above each plane are its status and, one presumes, the planes will get much harder to destroy as the game goes on. Which is why you need bigger and faster guns...
...speaking of which, there's lots to upgrade in the in-game Store. Everything costs coins, which you earn for each mission but which you can also (as you'd expect) buy with real world money. Lots of money...
As ever, stupidly high IAPs cast a shadow over how much you can trust the developers. $99 (around £80) with one tap, potentially, is clearly just there to trap the unwary. Why not just stop the IAPs at, say, $20 (£16) and people can always use the IAP again if they really, truly need to?
But you can get quite a bit of blasting done before you have to worry about the currency and purchases. If you just want some atmospheric 'WWII', adrenaline-releasing machine gunning then look no further!
You can grab Turret Commander here in the Store if you fancy a blast.
PS. There are lots of gameplay videos online, try the one below, which gives a decent feel:
