Summary
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...

Full of intrigue, ingenuity a rip roaring story.
A classic Ken Follett book telling the story of a nation under the control of the Germans in WW2. The threat to the British RAF bomber raids on Germany was paramount and needed to be stopped. Could a young Dane fly to England in a beaten up Hornet carrying vital information he had gathered of a German radar system that seemed to control the sky. Would the Hornet make into the air, would the Germans shoot them down? He would need all the help he could get and the friendship of a good woman.
