Dear listeners, hello. The man behind our dear 007, Ian Fleming, was a man of many adventures. Among them, the Second World War. In his role at the admiralty, he planned and oversaw missions and coordinated strategic clandestine operations. Some of those actions fell under the umbrella of the Special Operations Executive and the British Security Coordination. Meaning Ian Fleming was often side by side with William Stephenson, the quiet Canadian spymaster. Fitting then that this episode is handled by our own Intrepid alongside Edgar to deliver the facts behind your favorite books. Enjoy!
