Wilfred Dunderdale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilfred (Biffy) Dunderdale (24 December 1899-1990) was a British spy and intelligence officer. He worked for the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) between 1921 and 1959. His work involved liaison with French intelligence (1926-1940) and Polish intelligence (1940-1945).

It has been suggested that Dunderdale was used by Ian Fleming as a basis for the character of James Bond.

Wilfred Dunderdale was born in Odessa, son of Richard Albert Dunderdale, a shipping magnate.
