The Person Behind Bond, Sir Ian Fleming
Ian Lancaster Fleming (1908-1964), the writer of the James Bond 007 books, was the grandchild of a Scottish banker and the boy of a Conservative MP (Member of Parliament). His father died in the 1st world war. In his will, he bequeathed his property to his widow on condition she never remarries.
Ian's youth was inauspicious. He was expelled from Eton following a sexual liaison with a girl. He left Sandhurst without obtaining an officer's rank, having been caught violating the curfew. He continued his education in Kitzbuhel, Austria, in Munich and in Geneva where he studied languages. But the chain of disenchantments continued apace. He failed in a Foreign Service exam and had to join Reuters as a journalist. There he successfully covered a spy trial in Russia (1929-32).
He then joined a Brit investment bank as a stockbroker and moved to live in a converted temple in Belgravia, a fashionable district of London, where he entertained the members of the Le Cercle Gastronomique et des Jeux de Hasard.
In 1939, Fleming took on an assignment for The Times in Moscow - in effect a cover. He was spying for the Foreign Office and later for Naval Intelligence where he achieved the rank of Chief.
In the second world war, he worked from room number 39 in the Admiralty building in Whitehall as helper to Admiral John Godfrey. He was involved in the evacuation of Dieppe in 1940, in the smuggling of King Zog out of Albania and in setting up the Office for Special Services, the predecessor of the CIA.
As commander of the 30th Assault Unit, he sometimes operated behind the German lines, trying to secure crucial documents and files from destruction. But , mostly, he directed the Unit's operations from London.
When the war was over, he made a house - Goldeneye - in Jamaica. He worked for the Kemsley group of papers and vacationed every winter in the island.
While awaiting the divorce of one of his countless paramours - the pregnant Lady Anne Rothermere - the 44 years of age Fleming wrote "Casino Royale" released in 1953. It was the first of 12 James Bond thrillers, interpreted to 11 languages and with total sales of 18 million copies. James Bond novels are currently being written by the latest generation of writers.
In 1961, John F, Kennedy, the recently elected president, listed a James Bond title as one of his favourite books. Many movie plots were loosely based mostly on Fleming's books and have grossed, in total, more than $1 bn.. The 007 trademark was merchandised and attached to everything, from toys and games to clothes and toiletries.
But Fleming was also renowned for his non-fiction: books like "The Diamond Smugglers" and his "Atticus" column in The Sunday Times where he served as foreign executive (1945-9). He successfully branched into children's literature with "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (1964), also made into a film.
Ironically, his ma died and left him a fortune in 1964 - when Fleming was already loaded and dying. The trip to her service may have done him in. His son committed suicide in 1975 and his better half died in 1981. He left at the back one heir: James Bond.
