Ye-e-esss, I think you have something here. Haggard, Bulldog
Drummond, Q, some of Stevenson, even ... I read a lot if that
stuff in my mis-spent youth, and though Fleming modernised it
- post-WW2 instead of pre- , the tone does seem familiar. In
fact, modernisation might be all that Fleming did?
Thanks - Fleming was bothering me.
