  Thought some might be interested in the bio of Marcel Francisci, who was one of the heads of the Unione Corse families during the time Fleming was penning OHMSS. He may have been the man Fleming based Marc Ange Draco on.
  
  On reading the bio, it seems fairly obvious that Fleming probably knew about Francisci through his intelligence contacts as Francisci worked in the Free French Forces in Italy and in 1947 was an anti-Communist strongmen for the Rally of the French People (RDF), the forerunner of the present-day Gaullist Party (UDR).

  I agree. Draco is a great character and one of my favorites of the series.
