Yeah, that's right, rubbish! The National Enquirer? I could stop right there. Bond was an amalgam of people, including Fleming himself, but if there was an inspirational character it was likely Lieutenant Commander Patrick Dalzel-Job. He served under Fleming in an under-cover op so Fleming had plenty of opportunity to get to know him. Popov was a Serb with no military background whereas Bond is very English and very marshal. If you've not read the original stories, you're missing out on some great light reading.
Wel at least it is said that during world war two fleming had assignment to follow Popov.Popov was a great seducer and lady`s man visiting casinos and stayed in best hotels.And maybe that part of personality was took from the guy.So i guess it was an analgam of many people...
If you dig around in a used book store you'll find a few. The novel Bond is so much more interesting than the cinematic Bond. Be sure to start with Casino Royale.

I finished Colonel Sun a few months ago. It reads just like the original Bond books. Kudos for Kingsley Amis.

How young are you? You'd have to be inside the womb to not know that and even then it would be a challenge to remain that ignorant.
