(3) YA Known as "Kak," the narrator is a sixteen-year-old Canadian who lied about his age to join the military. Serving as a wireless operator on the bomber B for Buster, Kak endures mounting panic with each bombing run, though he finds some refuge from his fears in his friendship with the squadron's pigeoneer, Bert. This hefty WWII novel balances scenes of air warfare with the personal experiences of an underage flier.
