But was his grandfather able to swim ashore in a drysuit and then quickly change to a tuxedo that he had donned underneath as Bond can do? And before you call fiction on that one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(2010_season)#Episode_153_-_Mini_Myth_Madness http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(2010_season)#Episo... (I don't think they were able to do the perfect red carnation bit, though). I learned of Fleming's interesting background last week while watching Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007 on Netflix Instant, much recommended. EDIT: Wrote the above before reading the story all the way, it is very poignant indeed. The cruelty of war, especially being killed by an unseen, remote enemy, is something that cannot be wholly imagined. My grandfather's niece died in the bombing of Dardanelles in WW1, people still talk about how they could only find a bunch of blonde hair, that was all that remained of her in the rubble.
