James Bond Short Stories

James Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming, wrote twelve full-length novels of espionage adventures (and I have written a quiz about each of those - check them out), and also wrote a number of short stories, either specifically for collections or for publications in various magazines. Here is a series of questions about James Bond’s short story adventures
Note: These questions are about the original books, not the films, in which some of the details from the books were renamed, reordered or otherwise changed.

This is a yellow box quiz, which means that the answer you type in must relate to the highlighted answer box; this is to avoid players randomly typing in the names of stories.
