WW2 historical fiction book about an allied tank that gets isolated and has to escape across France
This is a very vague memory I have of a book I was read at primary school when I was about 7 or 8, in the mid 90s. I remember very few details of the book bit I do clearly remember that the novel centres on an isolated allied tank which has to evade Nazi forces to regroup with the Allies. The only specific scene from the book I remember is that there is a moment when the tank has to rush for cover in a forest so that it isn't spotted by a German airplane.
I realise this isn't much to go on, but I now have a son of my own who is really getting into reading and I'm trying to wrack my brains for books I reviewed when I was a child for him to read. As you can tell I can't remember many specifics, but I do remember that I found the book exciting and engaging as a young child so I thought I would check in case someone could help track it down!
