Their assignment was to secretly enter Norway to stop the atomic bomb from being built. Their only method of secure communication was by way of the brave assistance of the captain<U+2019>s homing pigeons. The action and suspense build to an unexpected climax. The reader will become aware of the important role that the heroic homing pigeon played in the war effort, carrying numerous coded messages that literally saved countless lives. | |
