Yours Ever Ian Fleming, 1994, a collection of letters between Fleming and Terry


Antony Terry was an investigating officer in the Nuremberg trials and won a Military Cross for leading a successful raid during the war. He was hired by Fleming as his Mercury Service agent in Bonn. Simultaneously, Terry retained his position in British Intelligence in Vienna and Berlin. He had encyclopedic knowledge of the Cold War and was a valuable source of insight and material for Fleming's novels. When Moonraker was being researched, Terry supplied information about German V-2 rockets and Hitler's Werewolf movement.
