At Cape Canaveral in the US, Sigma 7 has just been launched two days before allowing Wally Schirra to orbit the Earth 6 times In the Caribbean the beginning aspects of the Cuban Missile crisis was about to start. In 9 days a reconnaissance aircraft would confirm Russian missiles being stationed on that island. Within three weeks the World would be facing the prospect of Nuclear War. In London The Beatles on this day will be releasing their first hit, Love Me Do

But for your instructor, only one event that occurs that day is of enough interest to make this slideshow because that is the day that the first James Bond movie premieres in London. Here’s the beginning scene of the movie premiered that day, Dr No. Although this is the first Bond movie, it was the 6 th novel by Fleming about agent 007 and without doubt the rawest of the series. Here are some pictures of the premiere showing Ian Fleming, who hated the movie, talking with Harry Saltzman, Sean Connery and Ursula Andress
