Ian Fleming (May 28, 1908 – August 12, 1964) is best known for his James Bond novels. Much of the background for the series came as a result of his work on “Operation Goldeneye” while he was with Britain’s Naval Intelligence Division during the Second World War. Fleming wrote his first Bond novel, Casino Royale, in 1952.
