James Bond was created by Ian Fleming.

James Bond's birthday is supposed to be 11 November.

James Bond is a hero from England, so I threw in quite a few British language substitution, yet tried to make it appealing to a global audience.

James Bond lives in a flat in Chelsea in the Fleming novels.

The 606 club is a real jazz club in London.  Never been there.  I tried to describe by the pictures and the menu posted online best I could.

The Miles Davis Quintet (considered by some to be MD's best work)

 The location of the spy gadget buttons in the Aston Martin are accurate from what I can see.

The use of the Smartblood tracking system was created in the SPECTRE film by Q to track Bond

SCO19 and the FSB are real.  SPECTRE and SMERSH were created by Fleming.

The Walden Marina is a fictional one based on multiple real marinas along the Thames.
