While in Naval Intelligence, Fleming conceived, and was author
of, Operation Ruthless, a plan — left unexecuted — for capturing
the German naval version of the Wehrmacht's Enigma communications
encoder.

The
Life of Charles Henry Maxwell Knight (ISBN 0-631-13392-5), asserts
Fleming conceived the plan successfully luring Nazi Party Führer
Deputy , Rudolf Hess, into flying to Scotland — in May 1941,
to negotiate Anglo–German peace with Churchill — and consequent
captivity;

As
the DNI's personal assistant, Fleming's intelligence work was
the background and experience for writing spy novels.

The
first James Bond story, The Hildebrand Rarity, was published
in Playboy magazine in 1951, followed by the novel Casino Royale,
published in 1953.

It
is believed the woman character, Vesper Lynd, was inspired by
real-life SOE agent, Christine Granville;

likewise,
various inspirations for James Bond, the protagonist, have been
suggested.

Besides
writing the twelve novels and nine short stories featuring James
Bond, secret agent 007, Ian Fleming is also known for writing
the children's novel, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

The
books became wildly successful and part of the 1950's popular
culture even before being filmed, permitting Fleming to retire
comfortably to his home in Jamaica.

During
development of the James Bond film series, in 1962, Fleming
suggested his cousin, actor Christopher Lee, to play Doctor
No, the villain of the first film;

say Lee also was considered for the James Bond role.

(Later,
in 1974, Lee was the eponymous villain of the film The Man with
the Golden Gun.)

In
1964, Ian Fleming died of a heart attack, in Canterbury, Kent,
at age 56, and is interred in the churchyard cemetery in the
village of Sevenhampton, near Swindon, next to his wife Ann
Geraldine Mary Fleming (1913–1981) and their only son, Caspar
Robert Fleming (1952–1975).

Ian
Fleming was also a noted bibliophile, and put together an important
library on the theme of significant books in the history of
western civilization, books which had "started something".

He
particularly collected books relating to science and technology
such as On the Origin of Species, but also included such milestones
as Mein Kampf and Scouting for Boys.

He
was a major lender to the 1963 exhibition Printing and the Mind
of Man and 600 books from his collection are now in the Lilly
Library at Indiana University.

In
the mid-nineties, Pierce Brosnan, the fifth, official James
Bond actor, bought the gold-plated typewriter on which Ian Fleming
wrote some of his James Bond novels, in Jamaica.
