Description of  Double Agent Balloon Dickie Metcalfe's Espionage Career for MI5 and the Nazis [Audiobook]

Metcalfe became BALLOON, a sub-agent of double agent TRICYCLE's Yugoslav spy ring. Concurrent with his spying activities, he collaborated with the coinventor of the Bren gun to develop a new submachine gun for British forces. After the war, he was also a celebrated motor racing driver and continued to compete until shortly before his death. His success as a double-cross agent in the eyes of both his masters-British and German-is examined in this book, using official documents as a primary source.
