Inside Mac Games has posted a hands-on preview of Call of Duty: United Offensive, based on a near complete version of the expansion pack. Here's a clip from the preview:

Perhaps the most surprising example of this for me was the bomber mission. On first hearing about this one I assumed I would be stuck in a turret the whole time shooting down wave after wave of German fighters. Well, we all know what happens when we assume. While it is true that you are in a turret for much of the mission, the game treats you to a true flying circus. With fighters swarming around you and your fellow bombers, tracers streaming in every direction and planes exploding in flames it’s a visual feast. To shake things up you have to move around the interior of your B-17 from time to time to shut off a fuel line or open the bomb bay. While these would be mundane tasks in calm conditions, it is something else entirely when you’re doing them in the middle of a chaotic air battle.
