Ian Fleming (May 28, 1908 — August 12, 1964) didn’t invent James Bond out of nowhere. During World War II, he worked in British Naval Intelligence and saw from the inside how real secret operations were planned.

📅 MAY 28 📖
#OnThisDay in #history:585 BC – A solar eclipse occurs, as predicted by the Greek philosopher and scientist Thales, while Alyattes is battling Cyaxares in the Battle of the Eclipse, leading to a truce. This is one of the cardinal dates from which other dates can be calculated. It is also the earliest event of which the precise date is known.
621 – Battle of Hulao: Li Shimin, the son of the Chinese emperor Gaozu, defeats the numerically superior forces of Dou Jiande near the Hulao Pass (Henan). This victory decides the outcome of the civil war that followed the Sui dynasty's collapse in favour of the Tang dynasty.
1588 – The Spanish Armada, with 130 ships and 30,000 men, sets sail from Lisbon, Portugal, heading for the English Channel. (It will take until May 30 for all ships to leave port.)
1937 – Volkswagen, the German automobile manufacturer, is founded.
2002 – The last steel girder is removed from the original World Trade Center site. Cleanup duties officially end with closing ceremonies at Ground Zero in Manhattan, New York City.
*Events selected are not necessarily positive/happy/to-be-celebrated, but items I thought were historically interesting and/or significant to their time and I'm trying to select items from a broad range of history and not clumped too close together.

English author Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond was born back in 1908.
The influence of Bond in the cinema and in literature is evident to this day as can be seen in both films and books and has launched numerous franchises such as Austin Powers and Jason Bourne
The Eon Productions series of Bond films, which started in 1962 with Dr. No, continued after Fleming's death.
Along with two non-Eon produced films, there have been twenty-five Bond movies to date, and the series has grossed over $6.2 billion worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing film series of all time.
I guess I should add our appetite for the genre Fleming established remains undimmed as can be seen from recent TV reimaginings such as The Night Agent and Slowhorses.

#ScribesAndMakers 28 May: Our next featured creator is a serial writer. Have you ever written serials?
Whilst engaging in the Novel November Challenge last year I posted my daily progress on Scribble Hub as a way of keeping track of the story.
When I decided to self-publish the resultant novel, How to Succeed as a Supervillain by Following the Evil Overlord List, I deleted all traces of it.
