Before writing the James Bond novels, Ian Fleming was pitching espionage plots to British Naval Intelligence.

Fleming […] devised Operation Ruthless. This was a plan to obtain a German codebook by crashing a captured aeroplane into the Channel, where the crew would be rescued by a German minesweeper. The ‘survivors’ would then kill the German crew and hijack the ship.
