Sir WinstonChurchill. Prime Minister twice  (1940-45 and 1951-55) 
Out of office and politically "in the wilderness" during the 1930s, Churchill took the lead in warning about Nazi Germany and in campaigning for rearmament. On the outbreak of the Second World War, he was again appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. Following the resignation of Neville Chamberlain on 10 May 1940, Churchill became Prime Minister. His steadfast refusal to consider defeat, surrender, or a compromise peace helped inspire British resistance, especially during the difficult early days of the War when Britain stood alone in its active opposition to Hitler. Churchill was particularly noted for his speeches and radio broadcasts, which helped inspire the British people. He led Britain as Prime Minister until victory over Nazi Germany had been secured.

The Royal flatbed typewriters were the only unique design that the Royal company put on the market. But when it came to work horses, the company introduced one price winner after the other for decades. And from the 1930s on, the line included portables. The Quiet De Luxe was the flagship for many years.

In the late 1940s Royal had the Quiet De Luxe redesigned by Henry Dreyfuss who came up with the model shown on this page. It is not the kind of machine that deserves a place in a museum for antique typewriters, except that this one is... made of gold. Not solid gold, but plated.

The gold-plated machine was produced in a limited edition and sold at a considerable price. Apparently, one of them was owned by author Ian Fleming.

Ian Fleming, the father of James Bond

Ian Fleming was born in 1908. He was a British writer who wrote books about an English spy called James Bond with the codename 007.
The 00 stands for that he’s got license to kill anyone, anytime, anywhere.
At the time of his writing the cold war was at its peak.The cold war was also one reason why his books became as successful as they did.
Ian Flemming wrote twelve books about the spy James Bond.
In 1964 Ian Fleming died and at that time only two James Bond films had been produced. It was the movies that made James Bond famous worldwide.

James Bond Actors

There’s been five actors playing Mr Bond more than one time:
Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig
Many people have different opinions which of them is the real Bond.
Most of them say it’s Sean Connery because he was first playing Bond.
I think Pierce Brosnan is best as James Bond 

James Bond

James Bond works for the British government and gets his missions from them.
The stories about James Bond are all about how he tricks all his enemies and gets all the nice women. His enemies are often Russian criminals.
This seems to be a common action story but the Bond films are special.
James Bond is never stressed or scared. Even if he is in a very critical situation like jumping after an aeroplane which is falling to the ground climb into the plane and fly away with it.


This seems to be very dangerous but for Mr Bond it’s a piece of cake.
At his base in London somewhere he’s got this guy who helps him called Q. He’s participated in almost every bond movie.
He produces lots of gadgets in his laboratory, which are supposed to help Mr Bond on his missions. In every film he gets a new car from Q.
Q always tells bond to be careful with the car and he’s like yeah yeah and crashes the car in every film.
We also have this woman called moneypenny, who seems to be in love with Mr Bond but never gets him.


Another classical character in the bond films is one of his enemies who is a very big man called Jaws. He’s got metal teeth and is very strong but he’s not very smart so he always screws up and falls out of aeroplanes without a parachute but always survives. He never says anything and no one knows why. One exemption for that is in the film moonraker when he becomes friend with Mr Bond says cheers with a champagne glass in his hands.
Mr Bond also has some things he says in every film like “Hi my name is Bond, James Bond” and “I want dry martini shaken not stirred”.
All these things are classical for almost every bond film.
Some other classical things in the bond films are all the sponsors that want their names in the film. In the early movies Mr Bond always drove an Aston Martin car but in today’s movies he drives a BMW.
He’s always got an Ericsson cellphone and he always drinks Bollinger Champagne.

Why did these companies pay money to have their name in the film?
Some people have Mr Bond as an idol and they want to be alike him and hopefully they will use the same champagne or the same car as he does.
That may sound very farfetched but they actually make more money out of this then they pay for having their name in the films.

A copy of Moonraker, the third in the series, sold for £7,200.

"The 007 film industry has helped that impetus by drawing in thousands of new fans keen to buy into the James Bond fantasy," he said.
It is thought the highest price for a Bond first edition was the £22,750 a signed copy of From Russia With Love fetched at Bloomsbury Auctions in London in 2004.
A signed first edition of Casino Royale is believed to have sold for £21,000, also at Bloomsbury, the following year 2005.

So began Casino Royale, the first adventure of James Bond, completed in March 1952 and published the following year. Ian Fleming was 43. Although he had experience of journalism, this was his first attempt at a book.
 
He sent it to his friend, the poet William Plomer, who in turn recommended it to Jonathan Cape, publishers. 4,750 copies were sold within a month, reviews were favourable, and a British cultural hero was born.
 
Live and Let Die followed the next year, 1954, Moonraker in 1955, and thereafter a Bond title a year was published until Ian Fleming's death in 1964.
 
Fleming maintained his job at the Sunday Times, where he was foreign manager. He would ask the foreign correspondents, such as Anthony Terry in Berlin, for help with details about, for example, trains or local geography. He contributed a chapter on 'Foreign News' to the Kemsley Manual of Journalism. From 1953 - 6 he wrote the Atticus column in the Sunday Times, writing about a range of obscure incidents and interesting facts and mild gossip.
 
Keeping true to his promise made at the end of the war, he did return to Jamaica, and he built a modest bungalow in a beautiful position on the North shore. He named it Goldeneye. Somehow he persuaded his employers to allow him 2 months a year off to go to Jamaica, and so it was there, in January and February every year from 1952, that he wrote his novels.
 
...while I still do a certain amount of writing in the midst of my London life, it is on my annual visits to Jamaica that all my books have been written.

The Origin of the Name James Bond

"I wanted the simplest, dullest, plainest-sounding name I could think of. James Bond seemed perfect."
-Ian Fleming

While he may be the world's most famous, glamorous secret agent, let's face it, his name is pretty dull. In a way it is fitting, Fleming achieved exactally what he wanted to with the name. He actually found it sitting on his bookshelf in the author of a book entitled "Bird's Of The West Indies." And like that, history was made!

James Bond (January 4, 1900 – February 14, 1989) was a leading American ornithologist whose name was appropriated by writer Ian Fleming for his fictional spy James Bond.

Ian Fleming, How To Write A Thriller

His fifth novel, From Russia with Love, published in 1957, is generally recognised as a turning point in Fleming's literary career. With its authoritative glimpse of Soviet espionage, and showing a more rounded James Bond, as well as being immensely exciting, it found favour with readers and with critics. The villainess, Rosa Klebb, is gloriously described 
 
The tricoteuses of the French Revolution must have had faces like hers...The thinning orange hair scraped back to the tight, obscene bun; the shiny yellow-brown eyes that stared so coldly at General G. through the sharp-edged squares of glass; the wedge of thickly-powdered, large-pored nose; the wet trap of a mouth, that went on opening and shutting as if it was operated by wires under the chin.
From Russia With Love, 1957

 
 
Fleming only saw two Bond films Dr No and From Russia with Love. He had seen some of the filming of Goldfinger in 1964.
 
Two books were published posthumously, making 14 Bond titles in all. In addi of travel pieces that he had written for the Sunday Times; and The Diamond Smugglers was an account of the diamond trade. See Thrilling Cities with an introduction by Jan Morris (2009) and The Diamond Smugglers with an introduction by Fergus Fleming (2009)
 
The Bond novels and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang have remained in print ever since and have sold all over the world. Fleming has proved to be a master storyteller with a clear, elegant, writing style and strong descriptive powers, particularly when writing of lands and cities, and of cars and trains. Though often mocked in its day, his way of writing has proved extraordinarily influential.
tion Fleming wrote two non-fiction books:  Thrilling Cities was a collection
In a piece that he wrote in 1962 entitled How to Write a Thriller, he wrote ‘There is only one recipe for a best seller. You have to get the reader to turn over the page.’ This he achieved.
 
He was one of the first writers to mention makes of watches, types of carburettor, marques of champagne, and he did so mainly because he saw no point in not doing so.  His impact on thriller writing cannot be overstated.

Sales of the books rose steadily, but with Dr No, the critics turned and accused Ian of sadism and snobbery. At the same time others were beginning to recognise what an extraordinary talent he had, and Raymond Chandler, for one, urged him to try his hand at something more ambitious. This, he claimed, he had no desire to do, being content to keep within his entertaining formula.
 
However, for whatever reason, his 10th novel, The Spy Who Loved Me, did mark an attempt to vary the formula. The story is told in the first person by a woman, Vivienne Michel, and James Bond does not enter the book until some considerable way through. The fans were upset, the book was not well received, and Fleming returned to the old structure. It remains an unusual book within the canon, but reads well after 50 years.
 
There were two enormous boosts to the sales of the books and to Fleming's fame. Firstly, in 1961, President Kennedy included From Russia with Love in his top ten favourite books in Life Magazine. Sales rocketed. Secondly, in 1962, the first James Bond film, Dr No, starring the unknown Sean Connery was released.
 
Sadly Fleming was already ill with heart disease. He had his first major heart attack in 1962, and while convalescing from that, and having been told not to work, he wrote by hand a story for his young son, Caspar. It told of the adventures of a family and their magical car. He named it Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
