Follett's website states that his inspiration for the story came from Leo Marks, a former Special Operations Executive employee, who wrote a brief account in his book, Between Silk and Cyanide: A Codemaker's Story 1941-1945 about two young Danes who found a derelict de Havilland Hornet Moth biplane, repaired it, and flew it to Britain.
The earlier part of Ken Follett's novel "Hornet Flight", taking place in World War II Nazi-occupied Denmark, is set in West Jutland community dominated by the Inner Mission.
