Bond? Yes, indeed!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
As an aside to this excellent book, it can be mentioned that Mjr. Boothroyd recommended to Ian Fleming that his new spy-story main character should use the new Walther PPK. That's right. The agent in question was James Bond, agent 007 of her British Majestys MI6. And, as a thank you, Mjr. Boothroyd appeared in the stories, and later the movies, as Q, the Equipment Officer.
