## Description

Tail Gun Charlie puts you in the tail gunner seat of a WWII bomber. Use your phone's gyroscope or touchscreen to aim and fire the twin .50 cals as Axis fighters close in, including Me-109s, FW-190s, and Me-262s.

You have five lives and unlimited ammo, but overheating guns demand quick reflexes. Align the aim if the gyro drifts, and keep a charger handy as you conquer relentless skies.
