About this listen

As the Nazis bring Denmark to its knees, a resistance forms – and make a discovery that could turn the tide of war. From the master storyteller Ken Follett, Hornet Flight is a startling thriller set amidst the Danish Resistance of the Second World War.

Europe in Darkness
1941. The Nazis have Denmark in their vice-like grip, their malign presence corroding everything its inhabitants hold dear. Even the police betray their countrymen and work with the Gestapo to hunt down spies.

A Glimmer of Hope
In this hostile climate the Danish resistance discover a secret that could change the course of the war – proof of an advanced German radar installation that is causing catastrophic losses to Allied planes bringing the fight to Germany.

A Dangerous Mission
The resistance must get the information to the British and will have only one chance, using a near-derelict Hornet Moth bi-plane mouldering away in a church. If they succeed the balance of the war will be tipped in the Allies’ favour but failure will see them killed . . .

Brilliant. Couldn't stop listening to it. Really good narrator and extremely exciting. Although I don't know anything about flying an airplane I found the description very interesting

as the story advanced I had to check out the facts as it seemed so extraordinary .It was a great adventure with many fascinating details. As
always Follet embroils his view of how sexual activities play out amongst the key characters. This is unnecessary with a tale as good as this.

an amazing story based on real events
