Commander Sir James Bond,(KCMG,RNVR) is an officer of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS; commonly known as MI6).He was created in January 1952 by British journalist Ian Fleming while on holiday at his Jamaican estate,Goldeneye.The hero,James Bond,was named after an American ornithologist,a Caribbean bird expert and author of the definitive field guide book Birds of the West Indies.Fleming,a keen birdwatcher,had a copy of Bond's field guide at Goldeneye.Of the name,Fleming once said in a Reader's Digest interview,"I wanted the simplest,dullest,plainest-sounding name I could find,'James Bond' was much better than something more interesting,like 'Peregrine Carruthers.' Exotic things would happen to and around him,but he would be a neutral figure — an anonymous,blunt instrument wielded by a government department."
Nevertheless,news sources speculated about real spies or other covert agents after whom James Bond might have been modeled or named,such as Sidney Reilly or William Stephenson,best-known by his wartime intelligence codename of Intrepid.Although they are similar to Bond,Fleming confirmed none as the source figure,nor did Ian Fleming Publications nor any of Fleming's biographers,such as John Pearson or Andrew Lycett.
James Bond's parents are Andrew Bond,a Scotsman,and Monique Delacroix,from Canton de Vaud,Switzerland.Their nationalities were established in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.Fleming emphasised Bond's Scottish heritage in admiration of Sean Connery's cinematic portrayal,whereas Bond's mother is named after a Swiss fiancée of Fleming's.A planned,but unwritten,novel would have portrayed Bond's mother as a Scot.Ian Fleming was a member of a prominent Scottish banking family.In his fictional biography of secret agent 007,John Pearson gave Bond's birth date as 11 November (Armistice Day) 1920 (The beginning of the film "For Your Eyes Only" gives his wife's birth date as 1943.This seemingly assumes Bond to be younger than Pearson claimed).There is a reference to Bond's age in Fleming's You Only Live Twice,when Tanaka tells him he was born in the Year of the Rat (1924/25 or even 1912/13).In the novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service,Bond's family motto is found to be "Orbis non sufficit" ("The world is not enough").The novel also states that the family that used this motto may not necessarily be the same Bond family from which James Bond came.
After completing the manuscript for Casino Royale,Fleming allowed his friend,later his editor,poet William Plomer to read it.Plomer liked it and submitted it to Jonathan Cape,who did not like it as much.Cape finally published it in 1953 on the recommendation of Fleming's older brother Peter,an established travel writer.
Most researchers agree that James Bond is a romanticised version of Ian Fleming,himself a jet-setting womaniser.Both Fleming and Bond attended the same schools,preferred the same foods (scrambled eggs,and coffee),maintained the same habits (drinking,smoking,wearing short-sleeve shirts{?}),shared the same notions of the perfect woman in looks and style,and had similar naval career paths (both rising to the rank of naval Commander).They also shared similar height,hairstyle,and eye colour.Some suggest that Bond's suave and sophisticated persona is based on that of a young Hoagy Carmichael.In Casino Royale,the heroine Vesper Lynd remarks,"Bond reminds me rather of Hoagy Carmichael,but there is something cold and ruthless." Likewise,in Moonraker,Special Branch Officer Gala Brand thinks that Bond is "certainly good-looking ...Rather like Hoagy Carmichael in a way.That black hair falling down over the right eyebrow.Much the same bones.But there was something a bit cruel in the mouth,and the eyes were cold."
Fleming did admit to being partly inspired by his service in the Naval Intelligence Division of the Admiralty,most notably an incident depicted in Casino Royale,when Fleming and Naval Intelligence Director Admiral Godfrey went on a mission to Lisbon en route to the United States during World War II.At the Estoril Casino,which harboured spies of warring regimes due to Portugal's neutrality,Fleming was 'cleaned out' by a "chief German agent" in a game of Chemin de Fer.Admiral Godfrey's account differs in that Fleming played Portuguese businessmen,whom Fleming fantasised as German agents he defeated at cards.Moreover,references to "Red Indians" in Casino Royale (four times; twice in the final page) are to his own 30 Assault Unit.
