Nine actors have played James Bond. But none have encapsulated the role as much as Sean Connery, who was the first to portray him in a feature film. Here are the tech and gadgets that helped to make him a legend.
This hydrogen peroxide-fueled rocket belt, which Connery uses in Thunderball to escape two SPECTRE henchmen, was actually a working device developed by Bell Aerospace for the US Army in the late 1950s. It only had a maximum flying time of about 22 seconds and could only carry its occupant for about 250 meters. Although Sean Connery is seen in the takeoff and landings, the main flight was piloted by Gordon Yeager and Bill Suitor.
