SpyTHINK 005: Playing HOPSCOTCH with Evil CIA Thugs

Christopher Creighton aka John Ainsworth Davis (JAD)'s 1976ish, The Paladin co-author, Brian Garfield not long-after, wrote the 1980 story "HOPSCOTCH"--about a spy writing a tell-all book opposed by intelligence agency dirty tricks--sound familiar?

007 James Bond "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and "The Prisoner" actor George Baker plays the intrepid book publisher. While light-hearted, the story also correctly pins U.N. Secretary General Hammarskjold's plane crash on the CIA.

Garfield humorously namedrops spy thriller writers, Follett and Ludlum--but there was no humor to protect the latter from likely murder

Also neat is Garfield's use of STOL grasshopper aircraft to play his game of "hopscotch" with the world's intel agencies; a Lake L-4 seaplane (also seen in "The Wickerman") which is the basis for the superb SeaWolf Amphibian (SWA)

...and a canopy-covered TigerMoth biplane. 

Humorous its NOT--its long-overdue that we the people DISBAND THE DEEP STATE Illuminati's CIA.

James Bond is REAL.
