In his lifetime, Fleming is not known to have spoken publicly about this. The only[citation needed] evidence of his involvement in it (or indeed, of its very existence) is provided in the writings of John Ainsworth-Davis, which he contends are non-fiction - most especially Op JB. This provides some useful reports about Fleming which could be compared with the documents and testimony that exist about his life.
Legacy
Fleming's name is now synonymous with his fictional character 'James Bond', though he was himself in naval intelligence and there are indications they he may have taken part in a top secret operation entitled "Op JB".
