Claude on Question 17, Oct 1

What is James Bond's passport number as stated in the Fleming novels?

I'm not aware of any passport number being given for Bond in Ian Fleming's novels or short stories. Fleming provided quite a lot of bureaucratic detail about his hero — his service number as a Royal Navy Commander, his 00 designation (007), his salary (£1,500 a year plus allowances), his London address off King's Road, his club (Blades), even the contents of his SMERSH dossier in From Russia, with Love — but a passport number doesn't appear among those details as far as I know.

Bond does use false passports under various cover identities in the books (David Somerset in From Russia, with Love, Peter Franks in Diamonds Are Forever, Sir Hilary Bray in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, among others), but Fleming doesn't attach numbers to them.

If you've seen a specific number quoted somewhere, it's likely from a film prop, a video game, a licensed continuation novel, or a fan-created reference work rather than from Fleming himself. If you can tell me where you encountered it, I can try to help pin down the source.
