The plan was formed by Commander Ian Fleming of the Naval Intelligence Division - who wrote all of the James Bond novels.

I knew Iam Fleming was a real life spy, but I always thought he was more of a desk kind of guy.... .

Look for the "Worricker" series on pbs. Latest has christopher walken, helena bonham carter and wynona ryder. Decent series. You'll like it.

More related to GFY, "Goldeneye" was one of the first pieces of windows software used for brute force hacks into paysites. It was amazing to see how weak security was back in the days.

Check out the movie, Fleming: The man who would be Bond :thumbsup
