Roald Dahl, author of James and the Giant Peach and Willy Wonka, was a twice-shot-down fighter pilot that spent WWII attached to the diplomatic corps in Washington where he vacationed with Eleanor Roosevelt, encouraged LBJ into politics, set up a feature film on Gremlins with Disney and served as the inspiration for James Bond to his coworker and drinking buddy, Ian Fleming. He later wrote a Bond script, as well as the screenplay to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. From memory. Not positive about chitty chitty bang bang.
