Need help finding a book

[NickM]

Guys:

YEARS ago, I remember reading a novel centered around a 'kid' (I mean literally==he seems to have been virtually a teenager) who's a crewman of a B17 stationed in England. The novel was set around late 1944/early 1945. The huge raids the 8th mounted in support of the Allies during the Ardennes Offensive was the high point of the book. I cannot remember much more than that...hopefully somebody with a better memory and more working 'brain cells' than I have will remember this novel.

Thanks, ahead of time.
