The book is dedicated 'to Rupert Hart-Davis, my old friend'. AR reviewed Fleming's A Forgotten Journey in the Spectator, 8th November, 1952. The two men were friends. After a long and exciting day receiving his CBE, celebrating and dining, AR went finally to the Garrick to play billiards with Fleming. AR retained the full range of Fleming's books in his library; Invasion 1940 is a presentation copy by the author to AR inscribed 'to the glory of slosh'. Correspondence from Fleming to AR survives – almost always trying to set up a game of chess: 14th October 1949, Fleming to AR from Henley on Thames: 'My dear Spindlecue' pulverize you at chess 'see no prospect of visiting your barbarous and prudently obscure hide-out this season.'
