This gave him the background and experience to get good espionage stories to write. It is even claimed that some events from the Bond stories really have taken place and that the figure is based on a James Bond really exist having secret agent. However, rumors that Bond on Fleming himself would be based, by Fleming denied. ==The literary James Bond[ Edit] == Early 1950s Fleming began writing espionage stories. The main character was a secret agent of MI6; British intelligence. Fleming came up with the idea for the name following the book Birds of the West Indies, which was written by ornithologist James Bond. This inconspicuous name gave birth to Fleming. Federal code number was 007. The double zero points in the stories on a power to kill, but is in fact a creation of Fleming himself.

stayed in summer Fleming always in England, but in winter he travelled to his home Goldeneye in Jamaica, where he wrote most of his Bond stories. In 1953 the first book appeared: Casino Royale. Casino Royale remains relatively unnoticed among the general public. The American television channel CBS edited the book in 1954 for a live TV show of Climax Mystery Theatre. Flemings second book Live and Let Die appeared in 1954. The story takes place to a large extent on Jamaica. Because Fleming this environment knows well, he is capable of a mountain to trivial to mention knowledge around the island. Such details were a striking aspect of his writing style. After this appeared more Bond books (see below). As the years passed the books were popular and they raised enough money for Fleming to withdraw in peace on Goldeneye.The books were especially popular in North America after President John f. Kennedy the novel From Russia With Love on his list of favorite books mentioned. AlthoughFrom Russia, With Love as one of Flemings work best is seen, ends the book as Bond poisoned on the ' wine red carpet ' collapses. It's only the question of Bond this will survive.

The film industry began to show interest in Bond in the meantime. Gregory Ratoff producer bought the rights of Casino Royale. Ratoff put on ice for the time being, Casino Royale, and died before he could begin his film plans. His widow sold the rights to producer Charles k. Feldman. Feldman, however, does nothing with his purchase and wait quietly. In the end, it's there in 2006 it: see James Bond.

The island of Inagua brought Fleming still on the idea for a new book. In Doctor No (1958) paste Fleming Federal weapon to weapon expert, Geoffrey Boothroyd after him in a letter announced that federal women's pistol was Beretta, a moderate. In Doctor No left Fleming the Beretta than substitute an Walther PPK. The weapon master of MI6 was named Major Boothroyd. In the movies is this person better known as Q (quartermaster). After this, wrote the novel Goldfinger yet Fleming (1959).

In 1958, the transmitter CBS, previously had edited Casino Royale, for to make a television series about James Bond. Fleming agreed and began to develop new ideas for the series.Yet when the series went through were the newly developed stories edited into the short story collection For Your Eyes Only (1960). However, there were still film plans. Together with producer Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham started screenwriter Fleming to the scenario Longitude 78 West. To have an interesting, somewhat timeless bad guy, came the idea of the organization SPECTRE. However, this project was also not off the ground and was eventually put in the refrigerator. Fleming did the same now as with the stories from For Your Eyes Only, and edited it to the novel Thunderball (1961). McClory and were not mentioned here, and Wittingham started a lawsuit: a stressful period in which Fleming, a heavy smoker and drinker, a heart attack. One came to a settlement In december 1961: from now on, mention that the book was based on a film plot of McClory, Wittingham and Fleming. In addition, obtained McClory the film rights to the book.

As the first Bond film Thunderball prefer they had made, but because of the problems with McClory went one over on Dr. No (1962). Ian Fleming was hoping David Niven or Roger Moore would get the role of Bond. Also his cousin Christopher Lee was recommended by him.The role eventually went to Sean Connery.
