The Hornet’s Sting

In this gripping audiobook, Mark Ryan chronicles the remarkable true story of Tommy Sneum, who escaped from Denmark twice during World War II. Using a vintage Hornet Moth aircraft, he undertook a daring mid-air refueling and later braved a perilous walk across a frozen sea, despite the tragic loss of two companions. Sneum's courageous actions led to invaluable intelligence about Nazi radar and atomic bomb efforts, but his heroism was met with suspicion, resulting in his imprisonment as a suspected double agent. This compelling account reveals why he deserves recognition as one of the war's unsung heroes.
